Agreed that it’s better to not delete the badge than leave the system in a broken state, but right now it returns a 500 error with no explanation.

A minor UX bug, sure, but it keeps someone who doesn’t know as much as you do from being able to delete a badge. 🙂

Thanks very much for your help. I’m waiting to see what happens to those users whose profiles I deleted!
