Minecraftforge: Ability to disable the creation of the "forge" profile when installing/updating Forge.

[Cyphall]

For people like me who manage their own launcher profiles, it is a bit annoying to have to delete the "forge" profile everytime we update forge.
Could we get a checkbox on the Forge installer to disable this?
Thanks

If you leave the profile alone it won't make another one

I know but I like when everything is organized and having this ghost profile in my profiles list is... meh.

I understand your thought, but we are targeting the average user who has no idea what they are doing. Having that check box would just add a ton of extra support requests to our forums asking why a profile was never created {Because they clicked the box and didn't think it through}

Well, that makes any front modification problematic.
Maybe we could have a flag we can manually set in the profiles json file or smth like that to disable the creation even tho I admit it's not very practical (provided that Minecraft Launcher doesn't remove any unrecognized json element from the file).
Beside that, I don't see any other way to implement this feature.
(ofc I will understand if you don't want to go this far for such a little feature)

Nevermind, I realised I could simply make a Python script to both delete the forge profile and update my own with the new Forge version.

Could you skip creating the profile if a Forge profile already exists? Default profiles in the launcher are capitalized (Latest release, Latest snapshot) so I prefer consistent naming, but then whenever I install Forge, I end up with two profiles - Forge and forge.
