I don't think this is a user-defined group. These are .dcp profiles, not the new .xmp profiles. The old .dcp profiles always end up in a group that is simply called 'Profiles'.

Ah! It is possible to define a group when you create these profiles but I thought you could delete these. It appears that this is a problem with the interface for profiles that it will only allow you to delete profiles in the User Profiles section and not in these custom created ones.

It looks like you can only turn the whole group off via "Manage Profiles', not delete them.

These are not standard profiles. They look like user installed camera profiles (like the .dcp profiles created by XRite Passport). Probably from some third party vendor like DxO. That is why I thought they could be uninstalled by right-clicking too.

You can only delete user installed profiles with the right click trick. These look like camera matching profiles for your camera. You can't remove or delete those so the contextual menu will not show when you right click.

No right click (or control click) works perfectly fine in Lightroom (the cloud version). It simply ONLY works for user installed profiles. Those show up all the way at the bottom of the profile browser. Those profiles are not user installed. The position below Adobe Raw in the browser is reserved for camera matching profiles. In your language's version of Lightroom apparently that is shortened to just "Profile". What you see there will depend on which camera you use. This is an example of a right click on a user-installed profile:
