If you delete a shared folder using net share /delete , the share may still be visible in My Computer and Windows Explorer even if you reboot. The workaround is to press F5 to flush the cached information.
The /cache option can configure the share-caching mode to be used when offline folders are implemented (see Files and Folders in Chapter 4). For a full description of this option, see Knowledge Base article 214738 on Microsoft TechNet.
