I logged into a WiFi network at my friend's work today. She logged me in since I could only use the guest WiFi. However, her work's WiFi network under "802.1X" when I open AirPort. When I select that option in advanced, her user profile appears. If I delete the WiFi network and user profile, will all traces of it leave my computer?

Is there anyway that even if I'm not on the network and in range of WiFi, that the owners of the network could track my activity or invade my privacy in any way?

Also, I accidentally just clicked "Connect" on the network. Could anything happen, or will it notify her work?

Thanks

It’s just her user credentials that are saved... the network admin certainly can’t track you or anything. For that they need to install a management profile on your machine.
