Remote Desktop Connection Manager Delete Profile

remote desktopuser-profiles

I'm using Windows Remote Desktop Manager 2.7. I have some profile saved as 'Global' profiles. Somehow, today, I have managed to save a 'File' profile, which does not appear in the 'Profile Managment' tab of the 'Default Settings Group Properties', but DOES appear as a profile in all of the server properties.

Searching for a method to remove this profile gives me ways to delete credentials that have been used to log into the specific machine, remove the 'Global' profiles, or simply remove credentials from credential manager, none of which display this 'File' profile.

The only result that comes close to answering the question is this one, which specifies removing the credentials from the credentialsProfiles.rdg file where they're stored. However, I cannot find this file on Windows 10 (Even with hidden folders displayed).

How do I deleted a 'File' profile? Alternatively, where in Windows 10 is credentialsProfiles.rdg stored for RDCMan?

Thanks,

You can open the *.rdg file in any text editor and delete everything between the first "credentialsProfiles" til the end delimiter "/credentialsProfiles"

<credentialsProfiles>
  <credentialsProfile inherit="None">
        <profileName scope="Local">*ExampleDomain*\*ExampleUser*</profileName>
        <userName>*ExampleUser*</userName>
        <password>*ExamplePass*</password>
        <domain>*ExampleDomain*</domain>
  </credentialsProfile>
  <credentialsProfile inherit="None">
    ...
  </credentialsProfile>
</credentialsProfiles>

Delete any credentialsProfile blocks and the final format will be:

<credentialsProfiles />

at the beginning of the file.

It is required by RDCMan 2.7 that it has the "credentialsProfiles" section at the start of the *.RDG file.
