finding whats on workgroup

Recently on our network here at work a new workgroup, "workgroup", has appeared. I cannot connect to the workgroup to see what it is, i just get "Network path not found". I would like to know what this is and how to get rid of it if it is just some ghost that was there when i first configured a new computer which initially joined "workgroup". Thanks

This is correct.

Eventually, it will go away. What has happened is that the wg "Workgroup" existed, and all machines that new about it added it to their list.

Now it is part of the list used by the network's "Browse Master".

Just ignore it, it will go away.
