Maybe a stupid question... but how do you delete any games in the profile list
that one does not play.. ie. prune it out. ?

Only seems possible to delete profiles you have generated yourself. How do you
remove games from the original listing.

No one knows eh.. :-))

On Nvidia site they say they cannot be deleted, so maybe they cannot.

A search in the registry didn't find anything and I've been unable to find where
it saves the profile.

Looks like we are stuck with them. unless someone knows better!

I know how it's done! Delete your graphics card in device manager and a
dialog will ask if you also want to delete all game profiles. Then reboot
and let windows re-detect the card and re-install the driver. I stumbled
onto this by mistake yesterday when changing out a geforce3 for a ti4200.

Yes.. but when the new drivers are loaded... it also loads the default set of
game profiles again. Its the default Nvidia game profiles which I don't use I
wanted to delete just to keep the profile list a bit tidier.

It allows you to delete any custom game profiles you've set up yourself.

On the Nvidia site they state the default game profiles cannot be deleted?

You can use NVidia inspector to manually delete unused profiles
