If you tell us the profile id and what you were trying to do then someone will be able to guide you through fixing it.

haffenden and I do not kkow what I did but it came out anonymous haffenden which is not right.

Profiles aren't deleted. You can change anonymous to a real Given name and use it elsewhere, but there isn't a delete option.

make sure that "Preferred Name" is the same as "Proper Name" (or at least not blank), that should remove "Anonymous"
