Is there a way I can delete a wlan profile created by Group policy on Windows 8.1

When I issue netsh wlan show profiles from command prompt on a Windows 8.1 box, it displays the following information. The account I logon this machine is an administrator role.

Profiles on interface Wi-Fi:
Group policy profiles (read only)
---------------------------------
    gp
User profiles
-------------
    All User Profile     : Linuxs

Now I want to delete the profile gp by netsh wlan delete profile name="gp", and it tells me that

You do not have sufficient privileges or the profile "gp" on interface "Wi-Fi" is a group policy profile.

I tried google out a way to delete this wlan profile, but get no luck. I'd really appreciate if there is anyone who can shed a light on this issue for me.

Wireless connection profiles delivered by policy are stored in the \Windows\wlansvc\Policies folder.

To reset them, delete this folder, then restart the WLAN service.
