How long do profiles published to the web stay on the Piriform servers?

Is it possible to delete a published profile (if not, consider this a suggestion for a future feature)?

Although Speccy profiles are supposed to to be published "without any identifying information," some people might consider the Windows profile names to be information that they'd rather not have out in the cloud (recognizing that it's very unlikely that anyone will see a published profile unless they are explicitly given the randomized URL).

As far as I know, they stay there permanently, but I may be wrong.

I am not aware of any way to delete them.

I agree on your final point, perhaps a checkbox to redact userprofiile names

As far as I'm aware there isn't a way to delete a profile although I agree there should be.

A change of mind about having info in the cloud, no matter how secure, should be an option, and I'm sure this has been raised by others.
