Good day!
How can I delete all profiles, which were added by me(~200)?

If you are the only manager of the profiles, you may delete them. Please do not delete co-managed profiles (profiles that someone else manages with you). That is not allowed.

I'm sorry that you want to delete them? Can we help in any way?

If you are determined to delete them, there are two methods to delete: (1) from tree view in the profile box in the upper righthand side there is an X. Click on that and it deletes the profile; (2) in profile view on the upper right hand there is an ACTIONS button. Click on it and choose Delete.

There is a trick. You cannot delete profiles that have dependencies until you have deleted those dependent profiles first -- so first the children, then the husband or wife, then the remaining spouse.

When you close your account you get some options depending on your tree status.
Since you are part of the world tree you would probably only have the option to automatically delete your own close family. Any manually or automatic delete would destroy the tree of others, and that would make people angry and restore the deleted profiles anyhow.

re: "If you are the only manager of the profiles, you may delete them." - Thought it also mattered if there were other Family Members with claimed Profiles -

For example, I got there first, added basically all family members -- after siblings or cousins joined - would be nasty of me to then delete their family members out from under them, just because they had not thought to insist I add them as Manager. [In fact, thought the whole idea was they were not to view it as important who was listed as Manager]

I noticed that I added 650 instead of 200, as I thought. Will be difficult to remove them all manually.
I am no longer interested in this site, there are too few functions. I even can't download Gedcom of all my family(even all descendants of 1 person, who lived in XV) with Pro.
I transferred tree to MyHeritage, where I bought Premium - it haven't restrictions, so there is no need in Geni tree any more.
