How to remove "Mobile Broadband" from Network Settings?

Post by ReaderGuy42 »

I connected my phone to my LM 21.1 laptop via Bluetooth a while ago, and since then there's been an extra entry in the Network settings pop-up window:

Until today I just thought this was odd, but today on booting the laptop seems to have tried connecting to this network (which it can't since Bluetooth is off, and phone is not connected), which seems to have bothered connecting to regular Wi-Fi network.

How can I remove this "Mobile broadband"? I've tried going via "Network Connections" and deleting the Bluetooth connection, but on boot it just reappears.

Any hints?
Thanks!
