safely remove

What do you want exactly ?
Do you want to hide the name of this profile on your profiles list (1) or do you want to erase datas of this profile on your disk ? (2). Every profile has a directory on disk...

It will also avoid me issues because some profiles were very similar and it's possible I will make confusions...

I am aware of the config file and its possibilities.
My question is do I have to delete just the profile from my f.e. most used machine (a Windows laptop) or do I have to modify every client in order to clean up my whole architecture.
