Remove profile of (misspelled) person

I am in early family tree construction stage here. How do I delete the profile of:

J e r e n I a h Kendall?

He does not exist! He appeared when I misspelled  J e r e m I a h   in adding Jeremiah's children to his profile. 

----------

Jeremiah (with wife Susan (Redman) had only two children:

Mary Jane Kendall (my grandmother) (b.1878)

and a son with the exact same name as his father:

JEREMIAH Kendall (b.1880)

-------------

This has also been a problem in creating this tree/profile: to have a FATHER (b.1852) and son (b.1880} with identical names.

----------

Need help. Thank you.

Hello Kenneth.

I proposed the merge, so only Jeremiah will remain. Jereniah will be merged way.
If there's another Jeremiah Kendall in the family, you might consider just reusing the profile since you just created it, or even just change the first name and use it for another Kendall. There's no point in going through merges for every little mistake like that.

Keneth, you changed the first name of Kendall-5343 from Jereniah to Jeremiah, so at this moment, Kendall-5342 and Kendall-5343 represent the same person: Jeremiah Kendall b. 1880 d. 1958, both profiles are attached to the same parents. They are exact duplicates. Duplicates need to be merged. See the following help page:

Just complete the proposed merge and Kendall-5343 will "disappear".

You can't delete a profile, but you can make it go away by merging Jereniah's profile with Jeremiah's.
