vi /var/lib/cobbler/distros and /var/lib/cobbler/profiles, then cd into 
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror and possibly remove the ubuntu-googolplex and 
that'll be it.

When editing the distros file, be sure to edit just the records for 
those distros/profiles in question.

Also a good reason to keep a backup of /var/lib/cobbler around just in 
case you ever need it...

I'm considering writing some sort of simple backup/restore facility into 
a future version of cobbler since it's really just a few 
directories/files we care about.
