I would like to delete a profile (scan job) from Automate. I am not to do it via console as the profile never completely loads, just has the spinning icon. I am able to delete other jobs via the console in Automate. I was wondering if there was PS way of doing this as I cannot do it via interface page.

You should be able to do that through the Automate API.
