To enable multiple viewing while on the go, Netflix users can add up to 5 profiles to a single Netflix account. However, the number of on-time viewers varies depending on the plan you are subscribing to. Netflix will automatically block access to the later viewer if more people are streaming at once than allowed. That’s when you have the option of deleting a Netflix profile from your Smart TV, mobile device, or computer.
Also, keep in mind that the main Netflix profile cannot be deleted or removed because it is linked to your Netflix account. You must completely terminate your Netflix account to delete the primary profile. After ten months of inactivity, Netflix will automatically remove the account data.
