How to fix the error - botocore.exceptions.ProfileNotFound: The config profile (AnyProfileName) could not be found?

This occurs when you do aws configure in cmd.

It is caused by setting the following environment variable:

AWS_PROFILE = AnyProfileName

Removing this environment variable is the fix. After removing, if you do aws configure, aws would be configured for the default profile rather than AnyProfileName.
