A profile consists of accounts, data files, and settings that specify
where your email messages are saved.
Exit Outlook.
Open Control Panel by doing one of the following:
In Windows 8 and Windows 10, choose Start and type Control Panel.
In Windows Vista and Windows 7, choose Start > Control Panel.
Open Mail by doing one of the following:
In Windows 10, choose User Accounts > Mail.
In all other versions of Windows, choose Mail.
Note: The Mail icon appears after Outlook starts for the first time.
Choose Show Profiles.
Select a profile.
Click Remove.

I figured this out myself by combing the registry and the file system.
In the registry, I deleted the profiles from here:
ComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice16.0OutlookProfiles
On the file system I delete them from here:
C:UsersUserNameAppDataLocalGoogleGoogle Apps Sync
However, most people would likely find the files here:

or sometimes here:

@LonnieBest The answer to your original question: how can you manipulate Outlook profiles if the control panel "Mail" app is not working.
An answer: if you open Outlook, Choose the FILE menu on top left then click the drop-down option on the ACCOUNT SETTINGS button you will find two references to profile managing at the bottom of the pop-up menu 
If you select either of these options it will open a tool with the same interface as the control panel MAIL app
