Can't delete Edge profile

I can't delete one of my Edge profile. At first it doesn't detect an extension, so I tried to enable/disable the extension then install/reinstall but still no luck. The extension (Metamask) still can't be detected by any website.

Last resort was to delete the profile and recreate it, but when I tried to delete it Edge suddenly crashed and nothing happened after I reopened Edge.
I have other profiles that have the extension and all of them works properly.

What should I do?

    Hi @Alfa Bondi ,

    Is this profile connected to a Microsoft account? If so, you can simply sign out of it.

    Another straightforward way could be directly renaming or deleting its local folder. Under that profile, you can find your profile folder at edge://version --> Profile path. For example, the path is C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Profile 1. Then, make sure you have closed Microsoft Edge, and you can either rename or delete the Profile 1 folder.
