SYMPTOMS
If you delete a share from a command prompt using the "NET SHARE  /DELETE" command, Windows Explorer does not reflect the deletion and continues to show the folder as being shared. Quitting and restarting Windows Explorer does not resolve the issue. The properties of the folder show the folder as not being shared.



CAUSE
The shared folder is not updated in Windows Explorer because the information in Windows Explorer is cached. This cached data is still used if you quit and restart Windows Explorer.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, refresh the Windows Explorer display by pressing the F5 key or by clicking Refresh on the View menu.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
