    Did you add a new profile or did you connect an existing profile? Did you create a new profile by attaching a record? (Census of a family of the same name, but not your family, for example).

    If you created a new person profile, and no one else has edited it since, you can Delete. Look down the right side of the page for Delete this person. If you don't have the option to delete, you'll see "Why can't I delete this person?"

    If you connected to a profile in error, you can disconnect.

    For example - let's say I had connected to Bridget, b 1884 in error

    By clicking on the pencil icon (that means edit) I can remove or replace her parents.
