Any way to delete a profile?
My cousin created a profile without my permission. I tried to delete it from the cloud but corrupted the file. It is now appearing in the game profile list in error form.

**First, backup (copy to somewhere like your Desktop) the save game folder *before* deleting anything, if you are not confident that you know what you are doing.**

Your Local Profiles/Savegames Location (each profile serves as separate game save file):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\YOURACCOUNT#HERE\632360\remote\UserProfiles

If you are unsure of which (randomly coded) .xml profile is yours VS the one you want to delete:
1) Open NotePad and drag and drop the .xml into it
2) Ctrl+F to bring up the 'Find'/search function and paste in the following:
<name>
3) Click 'Find Next' and the actual plain-text name associated with that file should follow
4) Having confirmed the .xml profile that is the one you want to DELETE (it does NOT have the name of your main profile that you want to keep) go ahead and delete it from the save game folder.

Hope this helps anyone having issues, as this should delete from your local storage and perhaps be ignored by Steam's cloud backup functionality. If not, you may have to disable cloud backups under the game's Steam library settings, then go thru the process above again, then re-enable the cloud save backup.

I had tried that but it did not work. Thanks anyway.
