Question about the "net share" command

I had 2 external drives that I no longer own that are still showing as
shared drives. I can not delete them through means that I have used in the
past. I have found reference to the "net share" command that will allow me
to delete an entry from the shared list (they are listed there). If I use
the command through a command prompt to delete the entries, is there any
risk? Thank you.

Hi
Yeah, you can use the Net Share command.


NET SHARE {sharename | devicename | driveath} /DELETE
