Cannot forget a wifi network

When I press "forget wifi network" and confirm, the network reappears under "my networks" almost instantly. It also does not allow me to unselect or select auto-join on any of my wifi networks (I can toggle the option, but if I leave and come back it reverts back to the original setting).

iPhone 8, iOS 15
