how to delete remote share


New to Linux, I installed Mandriva 2007 and used the Set Samba mount Points in control center to create a remote share of a directory on my XP PC. This worked fine and I can access the remote files from Mandiva.

I now ant to remove this remote share.

I have this Remote Share icon on my desktop but I can't find any way to remove it as I don't want it anymore. I can do an unmount but can't delete it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

umount most likely..

Login to a terminal like xterm, type mount, see the mount point then umount it for that samba mount.
