[Solved] Windows network access to server lost

[kolla]

Hello folks I have been accessing my unraid server shares via mapped network locations on my windows10 PC (add network locations) and today I lost my access suddenly. Prior to this I was experimenting adding a new share to my unraid box (via webgui) making it private and trying to give access to that share to a newly created user. I then deleted both the user and that empty share. After this experiment my windows10 PC no longer seem to be able to access my existing server shares as network locations anymore. (It says Windows cannot access \\server_name\share). 

What could have gone wrong here? 

p.s: It seems I can only access the shares as \\ip_address\share now.

Thanks! Thanks to the above discussion thread, I was able to resolve this by simply deleting the windows credentials for //server_name via control panel.
