Hello! Can you give some more details on the problem? It is difficult to know how to answer when the problem isn't clear. Thanks!
Hello Anonymous,
There's no need to "delete" the profile.
Try detaching the wrong relationships, then creating the right ones.
I hope this may be of help to you.

You made an error ? No problem. On Wikitree we never delete a profile. We merge duplicates and for people in the wrong place we move them to the right place.
