Thanks Tomasz, my replies are inline.

Pasting the trademark character does not work either, I get the same message.

PS C:\Users\hf0002> netsh wlan delete profile name="eduroam® via Passpoint"
Profile "eduroamr via Passpoint" is not found on any interface.

Also, the Windows Wi-Fi settings GUI seems to have been removed. I
remember there was something we could use in Explorer to delete
wireless networks, but in the latest Windows 10 update this is gone.

If I forget the network using the notification area icon instead, the
Passpoint profile remains.

The selection from the notification area still shows "eduroam" which
is also the SSID we are broadcasting.

I think I understand. Does this mean that this profile is a harmless
supplement to the "eduroam" profile and should not affect the
connection? If so, I won't worry about it, although I'd really rather
prefer that we could delete it, for a true clean reinstall of CAT.
