Need Help Removing Something from Navigation Pane in File Explorer

When I open open File Explorer in that navigaion panel shows what looks like an IP number (See Photo), but when I click on it I get the message "Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder" and I cannot figure out how to remove it. When I right click on it I get show more options and when I click that the only option I get is to expand. Any help is appreciated.

    Editing the Windows Registry can be risky if not done correctly. It's a good idea to back up the registry before making changes.
