How to completely remove a wireless network setup from vista?

To remove a wireless connection setup I basically go to (network and sharing center) then select (manage wireless network) and then from the list of wireless networks I right click on the one that I want to remove and select (remove network) from the drop down menu. Problem is that when I go to define the wireless network again the system said that the network connection already exist so it seems that even when the wireless network definition is not longer display in the connections list, Vista keeps the configuration somewhere.

"If the network still decides to come back there is one other option.
Occasionally computers have software for their wireless cards that manages wireless networks. An example would be Intel PROset. If this software is being used to manage the wireless network (intentionally or by accident) the software will hold on to the wireless network even after trying the above two solutions.
If this is the case, you must open this software and delete the network profile from there. At this point in time, a restart and the ""netsh wlan show profiles"" command should reveal that the network is gone for good."
