how to remove my Samsung profile from contacts

[AC Question]

My device is a stock Galaxy Note 7.

I mistakenly allowed Samsung to set up a profile for me, and it puts that entry at the top of my contacts. When I select it, unlike every other contact in my contacts, there is no "Delete" option at the top, only "Share." Anyone know how I can get rid of my own profile in contacts?

This led me to trying to remove my Samsung account from my phone entirely (I don't want to delete my Samsung account, I just though removing it might solve the above problem.) But! Unlike past Galaxy devices, there is no longer an option to remove your Samsung account at all! I went into Settings>Accounts>Samsung....unlike other accounts, there is no option to remove it at all! So do i have to reset my phone to get rid of this benign virus that Samsung has become?

I think if this is the case, I will transition to never using Samsung software, removing every single bit of Samsung software that can possibly be done. Samsung, your hardware is gorgeous, but if you force me to use your software, I will become a prolific negative evangelist, and *never* choose your software again. You are breaking your relationship with this customer.

I di believe that u can just press and hold that contact and select edit, and just delete all info and press save

I'm having the same issue on the Samsung Galaxy S8. By accident it set it up, now I'm unable to delete the picture. The only thing I can do is change it to a different one. Or take a picture with the camera, right then and there to change it with the photo taken. I don't understand why you don't have an option to delete the picture. I don't want a picture at all and I don't even want to profile. Give me a find it silly to have this feature in my opinion.
