How to stop sharing folder for windows 10?

Referring to following link, I would like to know on how to stop sharing folder for windows 10.

I cannot find Stop Sharing option on step 5.

Use these steps to stop sharing any folder on Windows 10:

  1. Open Start.

  2. Search for Computer Management and click the top result to open the experience.

  3. Expand the Shared Folders branch from the left pane.

  4. Click the Shares item.

  5. Right-click the folder that you no longer want to share and the Stop Sharing option.

Furthermore, ADMIN$ is found to be Remote Admin under computer management.

There is no option to stop it as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop sharing and remote?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

"So the best approach is to disable the administrator account, and not assign any user account with administrator group, would it be correct?"

Normally use you can keep that default Administrator account disabled, but you need at least one user account which is member of Administrators group.  Account you use to install OS is member of that group by default.

"I would like to know on what the original intention for default share under administrator, would it be managing many PCs through networks?"

Yes, that's more for network administrators while normal home users don't need to worry about those shares.

If there is some security risk because of those shares then those wouldn't set on as default.
