How to delete Etheet profiles?(picture link attachment)

Your post title asks how to delete, but your questions asks what are they/what is the difference AND How to delete? SO typically limits to ONE question per post as the answer can vary greatly if you ask multiple questions.

To Delete -->

you should be able to right click on it, and choose delete from the list.

What are they -->

The Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller is just the "name" of the actual LAN card.

Instances when I have seen "TAP Windows Adapter" is when using a VPN software, or in rare instances when you have allowed inteet access to a Virtual Machine.

IF you are not using a VPN of sorts, nor a Virtual Machine you should be safe to remove the "TAP" device listed, however I would keep the "Realtek" device listed.

EDIT
I have also seen multiple instances of the same device listed such as "Realtek" and "Realtek1" when you have connected a LAN cable, and selected this is a "Home" network, then next time you plug in a LAN cable you select this is a "Public" network.
