I have an employee that was wrongly entered with an incorrect middle initial in their name. How is this corrected?

This same employee shows as having multiple profiles, all with mistaken name changes. Looking for direction as to how I can correct the profile that is in use (change of middle initial) and how I would remove the wrongly created duplicate profiles that seem to exist for this same employee.
