If you live in an apartment, you might have a whole bunch of networks which you cannot join, so there should be a way to hide those. But no, the ghost of Jobs apparently doesn't want us to have that option. 
BTW, forgetting a network in iOS 10 does NOT actually forget nor hide it. It only closes the connection to that network, but that network remains in the list. Stupid, stupid, Apple. I wish they would clean house with their iOS development team, hire Ghost Busters to vacuum and contain Steve Jobs, then write an iOS that is much better than what we currently have.
ETA: I just reread your question and I missed an important detail. Are you saying that you have one or more networks listed under Choose a Network that you once joined but are not currently within range? That seems odd. On my iPhone 7 and iPad Pro 9.7 both of which are running iOS 10.3.2, I only see networks that are in range. Are you sure those networks are out of range? |
Yes, I sometimes see it as well. They will frequently disappear given time as the network list gets regenerated.
