My two computers connect to the internet using an adsl
router. recently i set up the file sharing between my
computers using "Home or small office networking". I
created a workgroup in the process. But then i repeated
the whole setup and created another workgroup. both
workgroups are visible in 'the microsoft network'
under 'my network places'.

Now, i only want 1 workgroup between my computers. so,
how do i remove my first workgroup?

There's no explicit way to remove a workgroup. The old, unused one
will automatically disappear in time. Turning both computers off at
the same time might speed up the process.
