Answer 1

You could look at this information

I have entered an incorrect entry before, but I amended it to correct it. If they have completely the wrong connections you can use the profile and amend those for use for for the correct profile connections instead. Or merge into the correct one if you have a duplicate.

Hi, Ian --

We don't normally delete profiles. If you can give us an idea about what's entered incorrectly, we can help you to get it fixed, though. :-)

Answer 3

You can go into the profile of the incorrectly entered person on your tree, and find the proper one if you can find an existing tree and request a merge. Then the other profile manager can approve the merge and from there it can be removed from your tree.

If there is no existing profile to merge with, you can create the new person as a profile and do a little bit of research. Just by amending your existing entry once it has different family members (if you can find these through research, properly souce the profile below) and it will automatically disconnect from your tree. You can go to the mother and father's profile and edit their children and erase the incorrect individual that way so it will not be connected.

Since there are no sources on the LOCKED profile, how do you know if anything is correct or incorrect?

If you attached a wrong person, just detach from the right side.  We could give you step-by-step IF you unlock the file and are specific about what is wrong.
