Deleted Profile shows in profile management tool of IBM Websphere
Solution 1
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
Solution 2
Let me give an elaborate answer all issues pertaining to removing profiles
Make sure you have Full access (Read/Write/Delete) to the profiles
folder. Open command window as Administrator (Shift+Right click>Run as Administrator). This will help to avoid FileNotFoundException
. Run below command in the command window.
manageprofiles -delete -profileName Profilename
(Profilename
is case sensitive).
If above one does not work, delete appropriate Profile
folder manually and try below command
manageprofiles.bat -validateAndUpdateRegistry
Sometimes Windows service will remain after the removal of the profile, then run below command from bin
folder
WASService.exe -remove Nodename
(Nodename
will be the last part of Service name)
