Google Chrome power users likely make use of profiles to manage various browsing contexts. There are many advantages to doing so. Each profile has its own browsing history, bookmarks, cookies, and sessions. Chrome profiles allow for logical separation of browsing contexts.

However, at some point you'll likely want to clean up your profiles, and it's not always obvious how to do so. In this guide we'll learn how to delete or remove unused Google Chrome profiles.
