I had my networked computers in more than one workgroup and then renamed

seem to remove or delete the old workgroup names.

Can anyone advise me on how to remove my old workgroups under XP?

Ed,

A workgroup is nothing but a collection of computers under the same group name.
Change the group name, restart the computers, and the group name should change.
