Delete a profile

Caution

Once a profile is permanently deleted, it cannot be recovered.

We recommend using this feature to meet GDPR requirements.

For profiles you may need later, for example, for audit purposes, we recommend rejecting or canceling the product application instead. This hides the profile on the default view of the Profile tab. You can see the profile when needed by applying the Rejected or Canceled filter.
