Hawtio allows a profile which is assigned to a container to be deleted. This then causes the Container view and Profile view to not display containers or profiles.

If the same action is attempted from the command line, fabric prevents the profile from being deleted and offers and option to delete the profile and container:

JBossFuse:karaf@root> fabric:profile-delete test-profile
Error executing command: Cannot delete profile:test-profile.Profile has assigned 1 container(s): rc1. Use force option to also remove the profile from the containers.
