I know this message is years old now, but I wanted to make sure an answer was provided to address this in the case of someone else stumbling upon it.
The profiles are not accessed via the standard settings. For instance, if you install a config with an email account, you don't remove it via the email settings. There will be a new item under settings called Profiles. Using that area you can easily remove the config. Note, this is where your previously configured delete options come into play. If you allow deletion, the user can remove everything here. If you password protect it, they will be prompted for the password.

I had this same problem after an upgrade to an iphone5. Just a note, the Profiles are found in Settings under the General category.
My boss just came over to me because, as he said, a website installed a weird email account that he can't delete. I found this post and was able to fix. Thanks! 🙂
