Forgetting or Removing a WiFi Profile from an iPhone or iPad

When you connect to WiFi, a profile is created and stored on your device to make it easier to connect again and again.  When wifi service or its security is improved sometimes you need to remove the old profile so it doesn't interfere with a new one.  Also sometimes the wifi profile can build up and you'll need to delete them.
