Remove IPv6 address from interface

How can I remove redundant addresses from network interface. I have a bunch of unnecessary ones, temporary and usual ones

I do it like this

netsh interface ipv6 delete address interface="Wi-Fi" address="2806:10ae:7:1c7b::6"

but get

The system cannot find the file specified.

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: output of netsh interface ipv6 show address level=verbose

There is no Wi-Fi interface among them. Why?

Can you show netsh interface ipv6 show address level=verbose? – user1686 – 2019-02-25T10:31:20.167

If you're not using IPv6, you could always just disable it on the NIC. – spikey_richie – 2019-02-25T10:35:00.707

@grawity, added update – Suncatcher – 2019-02-25T10:40:36.360

@spikey_richie, I aware of it, but I'm interested to do more research – Suncatcher – 2019-02-25T10:41:06.563

Hmm, are you sure you ran this on the same computer? I just tested on a Windows 10 machine, and both netsh int ipv6 show interface and netsh int ipv6 show address report the Wi-Fi adapter – with all its addresses. – user1686 – 2019-02-25T10:55:53.483

are you sure you ran this on the same computer? exactly. netsh int ipv6 show interface doesn't show Wi-Fi neither, but it definitely exists on my system, I am surfing through it just now – Suncatcher – 2019-02-25T11:02:30.927

NB: There is usually no need to do this. IPv6 addresses are managed automatically and it is normal to have several of them at any time. – Michael Hampton – 2019-02-25T15:47:41.747
