    Zoltán, you can only delete profiles if nobody else has contributed to them, but the vast majority of the time, that's not what you actually want to do anyway: you want to correct the profile's relationships. To do that, go to a relevant profile's Details page, scroll down to Family Members, click the Edit (pencil) after the child's name where he/she appears below the incorrect parents, find the child again on the resulting popup, and click the Remove or Replace (trashcan) button/link.
