The DeleteProfile method deletes all profile information and properties for the user profile for the specified username from the data source for the specified ApplicationName.

The DeleteProfile method calls the DeleteProfiles method of the default profile provider to perform the delete operation. The default profile provider is specified using the defaultProvider attribute of the profile configuration element. If the user profile contains properties that are managed by a profile provider other than the default provider, they are not deleted. To delete profile properties that are managed by a profile provider other than the default provider, obtain a reference to the profile provider using the Providers property and call the DeleteProfiles method of the provider directly.

The following code example shows an ASP.NET page that manages inactive profiles. The DeleteProfile method is called when a single profile is selected to be deleted. Whether a profile is considered inactive is based on the date specified for the userInactiveSinceDate parameter value passed to the GetAllInactiveProfiles method.
