removing old “preferred” wireless networks

In Ubuntu I accidentally tried connecting to a wireless network. After that every time go near it now the Gnome network manager would connect to it. There is no handy way that the manager lists of “allowed” networks can be managed. After some digging I found the solution - removing a directory that made it “preferred” and restarting networking. After that the manager no longer did an auto connect.

cd .gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks/
ls
rm -rf <essid>
