Deleting a profile's directory is not enough; WebSphere holds additional information about profiles in its own internal directories.

The correct way to delete a profile is to use WebSphere's manageprofiles utility, located in WAS_HOME/bin (in your case: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin). For example, if your profile's name is MyProfile:

manageprofiles -delete -profileName MyProfile
