## Deleting a profile

### Overview

When a profile is inactive—no longer assigned to any container in the fabric—you can safely delete it.

### Procedure

To delete an inactive profile:

1. In Fabric Explorer, expand the fabric which contains the profile you want to delete.

2. Expand the fabric's tree to the level of versions, and then expand the version that contains the target profile.

3. Select the target profile, and right-click it to open the context menu.

4. Select Delete Profile.
