You remove DLNA devices in Windows 11 by disabling media streaming for specific devices or by disabling network discovery entirely, which stops your PC from sharing media like music, videos, and photos with other devices on your network.

DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) allows your Windows 11 PC to stream media to compatible devices such as smart TVs and game consoles. Removing unwanted devices declutters your network and enhances privacy by preventing unauthorized access to your shared files.

To manage these connections, you must have Media Streaming enabled on your Windows 11 PC. Without it, your computer cannot be discovered by other devices or manage its own DLNA connections, typically found under Network settings.
