I'm using GNOME 3.16

I have the following entries in my dconf-database. The entries are gnome-terminal profiles. 

% dconf dump / | grep legacy 
[org/gnome/terminal/legacy] 
[org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:] 
[org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:4d4a684a-7388-40db-adf1-6ec6b6f9043d] 
[org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:f36134ca-ebb6-4824-8403-6c11c8a135e8]

The same schema in the dconf-editor.

enter image description here

The entry :f36134ca-… was a terminal profile, but the profile does not exist anymore in the profile list in gnome-terminal . How can I remove the useless entry/profile?

    I think [this](http://askubuntu.com/a/85755/295286) already has a solution. In my current install of 14.04 I don't have dconf entry for gnome-terminal but I tested it with one gedit schema and it was gone, so . . . i guess that's most likely what you are looking for – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Jun 02 '15 at 20:14
  • @Serg I think, it's a 15.04 problem. – A.B. Jun 02 '15 at 20:23
  • what exactly is the problem? – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Jun 04 '15 at 16:25
  • @Serg Remove the entry `:f36134ca-ebb6-4824-8403-6c11c8a135e8` – A.B. Jun 04 '15 at 17:32

    I'm sorry for Ravan, who just started a bounty, but have you tried this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/45535/how-do-i-clean-up-my-dconf-database – kos Sep 01 '15 at 20:33
  • @kos I'm using GNOME 3.16 and the described schema is new in this version. Therefore no. – A.B. Sep 01 '15 at 20:39

Take the entry f36134ca-ebb6-4824-8403-6c11c8a135e8 from the output of

dconf dump / | grep legacy

and add it again to the values of the key with the name list.

Now open gnome-terminal and remove the profile.

  • Since he is on GNOME 3.16 can it be that dconf-editor does not recognize some keys from the upstream 3.16 release? dconf-editor version 0.22.01, my terminal profile has many more values listed on the right. – xtrchessreal Sep 05 '15 at 16:33

    @xtrchessreal my understanding is that newer gnome-terminal just reads different schemas than before and has nothing to do with dconf itself – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Sep 05 '15 at 16:42
