Answer 1

You can't delete the profiles but you can remove the incorrect information from them.  That would essentially enable you to start over, wouldn't it?

Please give me a profile number.  It is very hard to describe in the abstract.

In general, just go to a profile, click on "edit," and change or delete whatever you need to.

Answer 2

When you are in Edit mode of the profile with the improper 'relationships', you can look on the right side of the profile. Parents, siblings, spouses and children will have an option to 'replace / remove'.  Once that is selected, either select the 'remove' link at the top next to 'add/replace' or scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see 'Remove' with the person and relationship.  Selecting that will remove that relationship.
