To remove it, you to bring up terminal and type
networksetup -setairportnetwork [device] [network] [password]
To find out [device] type ifconfig and look for a local IP e.g. 192.168.1.67
Set a pass to dummy pass. E.g.
networksetup -setairportnetwork en0 'wifinetnamepriv' 'dummypass'
Give the system a little moment and then it will forget it self.
