I am unable to remove some WiFi access points. A couple I have connected in the past. One even has a blank name. I want to remove them. It has nothing to do with Enterprise as one of the points that is Enterprise can be removed. Any ideas how to remove these unwanted access points?

I have been through loads of mine, I have dozens and dozens and not a single one is greyed out, as such I can delete every single one in my list.

I have no idea what is preventing you from doing the same, sorry I can't help.

Good luck

Jason

From Terminal:
- get the Wi-Fi device (hardwareport), it should be en0 (Device: en0) on Macs without Ethernet
Code:
networksetup -listallhardwareports | grep -A 1 Wi-Fi
- list all known Wi-Fi networks
Code:
networksetup -listpreferredwirelessnetworks en0
- remove a network
Code:
networksetup -removepreferredwirelessnetwork en0 "network name"

Apple:
"If you don't have the option to forget this network
If you're using a supervised device that manages the connection to the Wi-Fi network, you might not have the option to forget that network. Learn more about supervised devices.
If your device never joined the Wi-Fi network, you do not have the option to forget that network. Your device can forget only known Wi-Fi networks, which are the networks it previously joined."
