For some reason back in 2011 when importing my GEDCOM the system copied a file called photos and created a person (Photos-1) it plainly has no data or names and needs removing. How do i go about removing it?

I'll propose a merge to get you started with merging away the photos profile. I'll do the same for Maps-1.

Wow, that's crazy!
Just merge it into another profile that you manage. Obviously, you won't want to keep any data from the Photos-1 profile.

And don't forget to be sure you have the proper profile being the remaining name as it's easy to forget which one is which. and you don't want to lose the existing ID number for the surviving profile.
