They will go away on their own. Either that or you can reboot all the
computers.

Rob,

Ken already mentioned that they should go away on their own
after about a week or two.

If they don't, and I've seen that as well, you can search the
registry for one of the names. You should find the list of
network names. You can delete them there.

Be careful. Mutilating the registry can destroy your
installation.
