How can I remove a "shared" drive from my Mac? How can I remove a "shared" drive from Finder left bar (and my Mac mini late 2012 computer) under macOS Sierra 10.12.6? 

I've tried all the suggestions I can find online, but nothing seems to work. It is a drive called “intel_ce_linux”, and I first saw it after my new Internet Service Provider technician "installed" and checked my new Internet modem. How can I get rid of it completely (i.e. not just hide), please?

I think the guy mentioned something like Bonjour (pardon my French…) while checking the modem, but I am not sure…
After much investigation, ultimately this worked for me:


Go to OSX/Preferences/Sharing/
Toggle 'File Sharing' on-and-off in the sidebar
Go back to Finder and see what happens


This seems to force a refresh in Finder, removing old stuck Shared computers. How they get stuck, I don't know. In my case it happened after buying a refurbished Mac and transferring admin rights to my new local user account. The stores' old network computer got stuck in my Shared list.

Some solutions out there involving Finder/Preferences, only serve to hide the unwanted shared computer from the sidebar, not actually removing it.
