This may not be the most compelling question I ever received but it seems to be something I answer at least once a month, so it must be compelling to the person asking. And you cannot have more than one personal profile, nor should you want to have one. It just confuses potential prospects.
Here goes the Q and my A:
I have two LinkedIn profiles and I want to delete one of them. How can I easily do this?
Easy. Go to LinkedIn Help and query “duplicate accounts. You will get a few responses, so choose “merge or close duplicate accounts.” It will take you to an answer that seems to solve most every situation. Choose your situation and follow the instructions.
No more echo. No more confusion.
