Yes, You can delete a specialized profile. Just go up on your image, click on it, go to settings, In the settings select profile settings, See there is an option of specialized profiles click on three dots in front of your specialized profiles Now edit or delete your one specialized profile That's all.
Just remember you can't delete it until you should have more than two specialized profiles.

You can't delete your ONLY specialized profile. You have to have at least one.

Hi Kevin,
I'd like to confirm that Petra is right. The option to delete the specialized profile is not available if you only have one specialized profile, and this is by design. We are now encouraging users to have a specialized profile so we want to ensure everybody owns at least one. Thank you.

Ok, so I have my general profile and one specialized profile for "Presentations". How do I add images to my portfolio for a web project on my general profile that I already completed?

Create a specialized profile for your web projects

Is there a place we can "vote" on features or suggest added features to Upwork? The specialized profiles are great for those who need it, but if we don't want or "need" a specialized profile it's very annoying to be forced to have one and maintain it.

Agreed 100%. I'm not a fan of these specialized profiles. So we want the flexibility to handle our profiles in our own way.
Aug 1, 2021 12:00:35 PM by Burhan A
Exactly !
Strongly Agree with you
now i have to maintain my general and only specialize profile too its annoying
Sep 11, 2021 08:07:13 PM by Maureen H
Tayler H, I completely agree.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I want that "specialized profile" completely off MY profile, no questions asked.
Why, Upwork, Why?

Hi Muhammad,
Please note that the option to delete a Specialized Profile is no longer available unless a freelancer has at least one other Specialized Profile.
Thank you.

Specialized Profile = garbage
Can no longer edit portfolios!!!
If they wanted to make the site easier for people to use they would have added location filters, not broke the already working well enough features...
Apr 23, 2021 12:42:36 PM by Jackson K
But I cant portfolio for my main account it only picks the specialised account always
Jun 4, 2021 07:06:07 AM by Emily S
So, if I don't want a specialized profile anymore and just want to maintain one main profile, I can't delete it? What are my options?
Jun 4, 2021 10:20:28 AM by Bojan S
Hi Emily,
If you only have one specialized profile, you will not see the option to delete or unpublish it. You can always edit the information for accuracy!
Thank you!
Apr 20, 2023 01:55:28 PM by Elisabeth G
The "accurate" option is that some of don't have a nich specialty in addition to our main profile! It is not "accurate" to force us to have a specialized profile if we don't have a specialty! Absolute garbage. Upwork gets worse and worse every day.
Jun 24, 2022 07:05:04 AM by Stephanie M
That doesn't make sense because my specialized profile is the same as my general one. What's the point exactly?
Nov 18, 2022 07:10:08 AM by Mina F
I'm skilled at "one" thing, and I'm here to do it; why do I have to have more than one profile?
Mar 24, 2024 02:33:05 PM by Aurelian S
Hi Joanne, are you able to tell the desing team this is extremelly bad UX please? Now I have to keep both of my profiles in sync - MANUALLY!
The amout of times I'm using UpWork and thinking to myself "WTF" and "how do I do X" - is astonishing for such large company.
Oct 28, 2020 10:26:29 AM by Mario W
Might work differently on different type of member: freelancer plus Vs freelancer. *My assumption, hope i'm wrong
May 29, 2023 02:44:55 AM by Igor P
No, it works the same. I can't delete the only one specialized profile I have.
May 29, 2023 01:20:01 PM by Pradeep H
Hi Igor,
Thank you for your message. You are able to delete any specialized profiles created, as long as you have at least one available. To delete, if you have more than one, go to Settings, then click “Profile Settings” on the left. Scroll down to find the title “Specialized profiles”, click the ellipses icon next to the profile you’d like to delete, and select “Delete”.
Thank you,
Pradeep

I don't need a specialized profile at all (as well as other users in this forum)
Mar 25, 2024 05:08:02 AM by Aurelian S
We do NOT WANT to have at least ONE profile. We want ZERO.
We already have a PROFILE that is DEFAULT. Why do you have to have TWO profile when only ONE profile is needed?
You have the default, and specialised profile - YES, we get it, you need two specialised profile to delete one, but if you do delete ne, you get left with speailised profile (1) and a default profile (1); 1+1 = 2; why do I need two profiles? Just so I can keep them in sync? HORRIBLE.
Please read the comments. We aren't stupid. We get what you wrote the first time. Horrible desing from UpWork.
Nov 17, 2021 12:34:34 AM by DrFarwa S
ok so he missed one step
do it like this
profile setting---- Specialized profiles- click on those 3 dots--Switch Specialty--select random specialty--move nest-- close the tab leave page undone-- again visit profile setting---- Specialized profiles you will see draft written with your unedited profile. click on those 3 dots again you will see delete option.
Oct 13, 2023 04:50:43 PM by Dragor D
You saved me! In the time of writting, there isn't delete button for draft profile, BUT, it can stay in draft state and not be visible on my public profile view.
Mar 25, 2024 05:09:33 AM by Aurelian S
Awesome. Its crazy to think this is from 2021 I think there is a reason why I left UpWork not sure why I'm coming gback to this app... might as well use the connects I've loaded but UpWork is horrible.
