"Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user" when there are no connections

Question

Related to: The Network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password

However, I am not currently connected to the network location already.

I if type net use I get the following output:

>net use
New connections will not be remembered.

There are no entries in the list.

And when I go to map the drive it asks for the credentials twice, then on the 2nd time fails with the message:

The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password.

If I try and map it via net use in the console I get:

net use z: \\[location]\Data /user:[username] [password]
System error 1219 has occurred.

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.

There are no connections, yet when I try and map the drive it fails as if there are.

@Downvoter, care to explain what this question needs to be more clear? — Douglas Gaskell, Oct 07 '17 at 00:50

It turns out windows had cached credentials for this location.

Go to Control Panel > Credentials Manager

Under Windows Credentials

Remove the account that has cached credentials to the network share. Try and remap drive now.

Failing that you can try:

net stop workstation /y
net start workstation
