Windows 10 - change credentials after browsing network

Not an emergency but is there a way to cancel or "logoff" as a user used to browse network shares?  I am not referring to net use or mapped network drives but just browsing under network.  I browsed a network share as admin and would now like to map a network drive.  However, since I browsed with the admin credentials, it gives the error "The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password.  to connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mapping to this network share." when I select connect as a different user.  It is not stored under credential manager.  (It has now stored the persons credentials here but not the admin credentials.)  I know a simple reboot would fix this but I am curious if there is a way to do this without rebooting.

Changing it to the share name worked (I used the IP for the browsing).
When using net use it does show the IP address with a share of IPC$.  I was able to delete it but I tried the other first so it is already mapped so I cannot test.  But I think both ways should work.  i appreciate both answers.
Net use/delete will not work in this case, unless you use it like this:

Net use * /delete

which will disconnect all network drives (which is usually not desirable).
