Inside Galaxy: Samsung Galaxy S5: How to Delete Saved Wi-Fi Network Profiles in Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

By default, if you have ever connected to a Wi-Fi network, either it's an open or secured network, then it'll be saved by the phone so that it'll automatically connect if the Wi-Fi network is available. But, if needed, you can set your phone to forget that saved Wi-Fi network profile, for instance when you want to clean up your list by removing Wi-Fi network profiles that are not in range, or when you encounter error while connecting to a secured Wi-Fi network and need to re-connect and re-enter the password.

How to forget a saved Wi-Fi network profile?
You can do so by using the following steps:

On any screen, swipe down the top of the screen to open up the notification panel and then tap to go to the settings menu.
With the settings menu is displayed in grid view, scroll down to the Network connections section and then tap Wi-Fi .
If Wi-Fi is off, tap the ON/OFF switch to turn it on.
Tap the required Wi-Fi network profile you want to forget and then tap Forget button.
The selected Wi-Fi network profile has been forgotten.
