I have imported a couple large profiling libraries and found that I'm not using (nor do I intend to use) many of the policies that were in the libraries. Should I go through and delete the profiles that I will not be using? Would the fact that the profiles are there create any space/resource issues? A general concern is that I am getting ready to move to a new 2.6 environment, and the less gremlins I have to move, the better.

I've never gone to the trouble of doing so during numerous upgrades.
Do use the Upgrade Readiness Tool. It will clear up 99% of any potential issues that will affect an upgrade.
One thing that helps is to perform a fresh data purge (if you don't have any requirement to retain the old data) just prior to beginning your upgrade. That can save several hours per node.

echoing @Marvin Rhoads You can remove anything you don't want but unless you're pushing 2000 profiles it shouldn't really matter. If you have too many gremlins why not build a new deployment? If its lab then snapshot a fresh install.

I couldn't stand it, I had to do something. Especially after reading the response from @Jason Kunst . I had 2,300 profiles in my library. Some of them had to go. After a couple hours I've managed to get down to about 1,300. I feel much better about it now!
