Did you hit Save after deleting them? Could you share your settings.json file/?

Hmm. Looks like deleted profiles still show up in the duplicate profile dropdown. That's wild, and sure shouldn't be happening.

Yep, the AddProfile page is just handed a whole reference to the settings, and doesn't filter on !IsDeleted(), like the other nav view does.

Ah, so deleted profiles are intended to show up in that dropdown. Until we have support for "template" profiles (like, "Terminal detected these -- do you want one of them?"), we have to store them there. Otherwise, there is no way to get them back, for users who have changed their minds.

That's fine by me. I'm gonna call this "by design" then. Maybe not the most clear, but not a bug. If anyone's got good recommendations on ways to make this clearer, feel free to add it in the comments below.
