I'm using the following lines below to create a connection to a shared network location, but the problem is with any connections active (I think), network.MapNetworkDrive("..") will throw an error:

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.

I got pass this error by using net use * /delete from the command line, but is there an equivalent commands in C#?

IWshNetwork_Class network = new IWshNetwork_Class();
network.MapNetworkDrive("z:", @shared_path, Type.Missing, "Admin", "!QAZxsw2");


...

network.RemoveNetworkDrive("z:");
