Hi there,

I've just noticed that there's a shared PC in my finder that I know nothing about.

Does anyone know why this is here & how to get rid of it?

Thanks

Shark

Well, if you click on that icon and nothing happens then it's a dead link so I'd press/hold Command and click & drag it from the Finder Sidebar and it'll go up in a small puff of smoke.

Hey there.

You're right nothing happens and it's a dead link but I cannot click and drag it anywhere. It's stuck.
