Thanks! I actually am using the WP Hide Dashboard plugin but while it removes the tools and dashboard, it doesn’t remove the profile menu for the subscriber. I added the code to remove the profile menu but I don’t know how to add the “if” statement so it will still appear for admins. Here is the code of the wp-hide-dashboard.php page with my code to remove the profile menu. Can you help with the “if” statement?

Plugin Name: WP Hide Dashboard
Plugin URI: https://kpdesign.net/wp-plugins/wp-hide-dashboard/
Description: A simple plugin that removes the Dashboard menu, the Tools menu, the Personal Options section and the Help link on the Profile page, and prevents Dashboard access to users assigned to the <em>Subscriber</em> role. Useful if you allow your subscribers to edit their own profiles, but don't want them wandering around your WordPress admin section. Note: This version requires a minimum of WordPress 2.9. If you are running a version less than that, please upgrade your WordPress install now.
