Answers.Text: You are right, it doesn't work. Turns out it isn't actually a profile, it is hard-coded here: https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/master/templates/CRM/Block/Add.tpl
  I always assumed that it was the profile of the same name, but it isn't. Have edited my answer to avoid confusion.

Answers.Text: To get rid of the New Individual block entirely? You can remove the CiviCRM Quick Add block in your CMS. Personally, I prefer to hide that whole sidebar so there is more space for tables in the main block.

Answers.Text: Not sure how it works on Joomla, but on Drupal you just remove all the blocks from that region. But you might also want to consider installing a different theme, many get rid of all those blocks.
