I'm having a similar issue.

Windows build: 18362.10022
Windows version: 1903
Windows Terminal version: 0.5.2762.0

The following keep reappearing after deletion from my profiles.json:

    {
        "guid": "{574e775e-4f2a-5b96-ac1e-a2962a402336}",
        "hidden": false,
        "name": "PowerShell Core",
        "source": "Windows.Terminal.PowershellCore"
    },
    {
        "guid": "{2c4de342-38b7-51cf-b940-2309a097f518}",
        "hidden": false,
        "name": "Ubuntu",
        "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl"
    }

Set hidden to true to remove them. This is by design, as Terminal cannot tell a profile you’ve deleted from a profile you never had.

@DHowett-MSFT commented on GitHub (Oct 9, 2019):

There’s a few intricacies here. If you’re talking about PowerShell Core, it should reappear with a reset hidden flag. If you’re talking about Windows PowerShell, however, you’ll need to explicitly suppress that one. It gets inherited from the default settings, which you can see/copy data out of by holding down Alt while clicking on the Settings menu item.

The “empty state” user settings do include a stub for Windows PowerShell, which does contain hidden.

Why not with ALT+CTRL+','. Because CTRL+',' opens Settings.
