If you created a profile, you can delete the profile from the list of profiles available in AWS WA Tool.

Deleting a profile from the Profiles page does not remove the profile from any associated workloads. You can continue using profiles that were shared and associated with a workload before deletion, however, no new workloads can be associated with a deleted profile. Profile notifications are sent to workload owners using deleted profiles.
