Ghost Profiles Persist in Edge Profile Switcher Despite Cleanup

I've submitted a detailed Feedback Hub report documenting persistent ghost profiles in Edge’s profile switcher. These profiles remain visible despite full local and registry cleanup, and there’s no user-facing way to remove them.

The issue affects profile integrity, sync behaviour, and UI clarity. It’s reproducible and has no current resolution.

Here’s the link to my Feedback Hub submission: https://aka.ms/AAykvpv
