So I recently changed my password and logged in with the new on on Boxee but on the Login screen I see two profiles 1 is the old one and the other is the one I updated and changed password.
So my question is how do I delete a profile from there?

The easiest solution i would suggest is rename your profile folder and start fresh.Make sure you have downloaded the latest version.
All the local settings are basically saved under "~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE" so please "rename" this folder (so that you can recover later if needed) and try running boxee. this will require re-defining the user and sources.
Another option is go to this directory ~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData/profiles/, and delete the folder by the user name. for example, delete ~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData/profiles/marcel, as my user name is "marcel".

Much thanks it works.
Would be good to have a button somewhere on the login in further releases.

hi - i'm concered on how two profiles were generated in the first place.
can you please describe how it happened, and with which boxee version?
i was not able to reproduce just by changing password and logging in again with the latest version.
thanks!

uploaded the latest release and the BOXEE folder is not there anymore. Has it moved?
