How to delete VPN connection (.pbk) in DotRas C#?

Question

When my VPN client connects to my VPN server, it creates a .PBK connection, but when i trying to create another connection with another IP, it throws me

System.ArgumentException: 'ConnectionName' already exists in the phone book.

I know i can create different connection name each time i trying to connect, but over time there will be too much unnecessary connections, how can i remove my connection via DotRas or manually?

This folder is totally clear. Don't know what to do.

%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk

A RasCollection, which is what RasPhoneBook.Entries is, provides several methods that can be used. In the end, it is an ICollection/IEnumerable.

...
public abstract class RasCollection<TObject> : MarshalByRefObject, ICollection<TObject>, IEnumerable<TObject>, IEnumerable where TObject : class
{
    ...

    public int Count { get; }
    ...

    public void Add(TObject item);
    public void Clear();
    public bool Contains(TObject item);
    ...
    ...
    public int IndexOf(TObject item);
    public bool Remove(TObject item);
    public void RemoveAt(int index);
    ...
}

To remove items, one can use Remove() given a RasEntry, RemoveAt() given an index, or Clear() to remove everything.

Additionally, RasEntryCollection provides public bool Remove(string name) which one can use to remove an entry given its name.

Found an answer to my question. If you declare your entry like this:

RasEntry entry = RasEntry.CreateVpnEntry(EntryName, ip, RasVpnStrategy.Default,
RasDevice.GetDeviceByName("(PPTP)", RasDeviceType.Vpn));

You need to use Remove() method:

this.AllUsersPhoneBook.Entries.Remove(Entry);
