I am trying to delete the outdated profiles of open vpn from the GUI in Windows 10. There does not seem to be a delete option. Any pointers on how to get rid of old profiles would be helpful. The user manual says to use the delete button but there does not seem to be a delete button. I have also tried to run this as administrator. Open VPN version 11.14.0.0.

i needed a rubber ducky ... I tried the "edit config" of the profile and then pressed save as.
The save as address is %USERPROFILE%\OpenVPN\config\ with subsequent folders that contain the profiles. just delete the offending folders and they get removed from the GUI after application restart.

Adding/Removing config files from `C:\Users%USERNAME%\OpenVPN\config` didn't fix the problem for me. Instead adding/removing them in `C:/Program Files/OpenVPN/config` fixed it. – puncher Feb 12 '23 at 16:16

"application restart" - thank you. – OfirD Apr 10 '23 at 18:39

OpenVPN GUI will save configuration files in following address:
C:\Users%USERNAME%\OpenVPN\config
in order to remove profiles you can delete folders in above directory
Also as SomeGuy pointed out in the openvpn-forum another place for configuration files could be
C:/Program Files/OpenVPN/config
C:/Program Files (x86)/OpenVPN/config

My "OpenVPN Connect" client (version 3.3.1 (2222)) stores the profiles in directory:
%APPDATA%\OpenVPN Connect\profiles
Delete the corresponding file.
NOTE: "OpenVPN Connect" client on Windows 10 does have a delete profile option. Go to tab "Profiles", click on the pencil and click on button "delete profile"
