Can't delete the old profile.

I'd like to delete my old profile that is VERY outdated and CAN NOT even open but it is not letting me do it. I get that it sees it as the default profile but it is not letting me change the default profile either. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Solution:
You're about to delete all your SMM profiles, so make sure you either make a backup of these files, or know the mods you had installed! First, use Alt + F4 to close SMM. Then press Windows Key + R, and paste this, %appdata%\SatisfactoryModManager\profiles. Press enter, and delete all the folders in there. Now, open SMM and it should work...

If you have other profiles you'd like to keep, you can remove just the folder of the modded profile

Error 1 Satisfactory install was found, but it points to a folder that doesn't exist. "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Satisfactory" Seems wrong? Generate debug info and send it together with this error message over on the modding discord in #help-using-mods

-# (Known issue TargetRename1.0 / smmsteam1.0 / Temp1.0PluginFailedToLoad / DisableMods1.0 ) You cant play with mods on 1.0 yet!

To manually turn off mods, delete the FactoryGame/Mods folder from your game install directory manually. Here's how to find the game install directory: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_GameInstall - Even after you do this, SMM still won't work, and you will still get the "folder that does not exist" error message! You have to launch the game from Epic/Steam for now. Close SMM and don't use it again until we announce that mods are updated. - If you have issues launching the game after this, also delete the FactoryGame/Plugins folder, then verify your game files to restore it: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#_how_do_i_verify_my_game_files - If you're still having issues, post the next error you get! -# Responding to smm1.0 triggered by @Thotenvin
