In the backend go to Help -> Start Here / Joomla Help and then scroll down to My Profile. The help page there was created (by me) at the Joomla 4 RC stage and subsequently copied to the equivalent J5 Help page. I don't think that the COM_ADMIN_HELP_MY_PROFILE string is used anywhere in the Joomla code. Removing it should remove the reduntant item in the list of Help pages.

The MOD_MENU_USER_PROFILE string has the same content (My Profile) and again I don't think that is used anywhere in the core code.

No you have to rebuild the helptoc to remove it

I have looked though the code of build/HelpTOC.php but I do not see how to invoke it to build the ToC. I could delete the categories from docs.joomla.org/Help5.x:My_Profile but the toc.json file still needs to be updated in the core code. So I don't know enough to fix the problem (other than editing toc.json).

buildtoc is a php cli app

But I dont see what is wrong with the page that makes you want to remove it

Reason for removal: the page is not used anywhere in Joomla 4+ except in the list of Help screens. It looks like a leftover from an earlier version. The source is out of date!

helpTOC.php is not a cli app but a stand-alone script that can be run from the command line. But all I succeeded in doing was overwriting my toc.json file with nothing.

It won't do any harm not to do anything. That entire long list of Help pages is difficult to use and needs attention!

Additional note: helpTOC.php returns a 403 Forbidden response when run from the command line. That leads to an empty toc.json file.

I removed the Categories from Help5.x:My_Profile but that will make no difference if the ToC cannot be generated from the Wiki.
