Make sure that you’re removing a computer that you actually want to remove. If a computer is asleep, turned off, or just disconnected from the network, it will show as unavailable. PCs that are unavailable on the network are dimmed. In that folder, you’ll see a list of the PCs in the Homegroup. If you’re on a Windows 7 computer, you’ll just see the Homegroup folder. Note that if you’re on a computer running Windows 8 or later and you’re signed in with a Microsoft account, you’ll also see a user folder under the Homegroup folder that you’ll need to expand. In the navigation pane on the left, scroll down and then expand the Homegroup folder. Start by opening File Explorer on any computer connected to the Homegroup. It’s just that, for some reason, you can’t do it through the Homegroup control panel. Removing a computer from your Homegroup is also super easy. If you get rid of an old computer, though, Homegroup has no way of knowing whether the computer is no longer on the network or just unavailable. You get to select what types of files each computer shares during setup and that’s it. All you have to do is create a homegroup on one computer (Windows 7 or later), note the password it generates, and then join that Homegroup on other computers. If you’re on a home network and want an easy way to share files and printers between computers without monkeying around with Windows network settings, Homegroup is a great feature.
