In the Connections section, look for Wi-Fi and the “Manage known networks” link. Selecting ‘Network’ under PC Settings in Windows 8.1.

There is, however, another way, which of course is only more complicated and requires more mouse clicks than in Windows 8. In Windows 8.1, the only way to forget a wireless profile from the network connections menu is if you are connected to it at the moment. For example, if I stayed in a hotel in a city to which I will probably never return, and if I wanted to clean up the list of my remembered access points, I cannot use the same method to forget it.
You can no longer do that in Windows 8.1, unless the computer is actually connected to that Wi-Fi access point.
However, someone in the Windows product group at Microsoft thought that in Windows 8.1 this functionality must change. In Windows 8, when you wanted to delete or forget a wireless access point profile, you could simply click on the network icon in the tray area, scroll till you got to the desired network, and either hold (if you’re using touch screen) or right-click on it and select “Forget” from the context menu. This is another one of those annoyances that just gets you angry at the lack of thought of the people at Microsoft that were in charge of this feature. What could have been done in 3 clicks of a mouse and a few seconds in Windows 8, now takes double that amount of clicks and triple the amount of time in Windows 8.1.
