How to delete a profile

Post by rseiler » Sun Feb 10, 2013 12:14 am

I can't seem to find it. Is it a feature yet?

If it's not in the UI, is there perhaps a discrete file somewhere that we can navigate to with a file manager and delete?

I do realize that we can go to the Android application area and clear data, but that would wipe all of the app's settings and all profiles.

Thanks

I am wondering the same thing. There sould be some way to delete profiles.... it is possible in the iOS version of this client so why not on Android?

From the department of "huh," I was reading through the FAQ again, when presto, this very question was there. I swear it wasn't the first time I went through it, but I may have missed it.

Simply long-press the name of the profile and you'll get a menu of things that can be done to it, including delete.

i've deleted a bunch of profiles and now everytime openvpn tries to (re)connect to the server with a deleted profile and ofcourse it comes up with a "profile not found" error.

but in the drop down menu it shows the correct new profile and after tapping "connect" it finally (re)connects to the server.

how do i make it really forget the old profiles?

apologies for replying to my own message but it doesn't seem to be possible to just edit it.

my wife's s3 and my nexus 7 don't have the above problem and are (re) connecting with the right profile automatically.

Are you saying that after deleting a profile, it is still visible in the app, and if you try to connect it, you get a "profile not found" error?

Can you provide more details on exactly how to cause this error to occur?

Thanks,
James
