How do I delete a profile created accidentally?

Question

I've been adding a lot of data from a notebook assembled by my great-grandmother and accidentally create a Harry Dow (Dow-1553), but there was no such person. How do I delete the person completely? Thanks

Answer 1

You could merge him into another profile you manage, which would eliminate him.

Answer 2

We don't delete profiles created on WikiTree.  Doug is correct, you might change his name to Leander and change his birth date to 1860 (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dow-1552), and then merge them.  He will disappear!
