Schedule SE is automatically generate when I fill out Schedule C. But with the agreement between US and France, I am not subject to self-employment tax. But when I tried to delete Schedule SE, it did not go away.

You are correct. You aren’t required to pay SE tax when any of the following applies:

You are subject only to the social security laws of a foreign country under the provisions of a social security agreement between the United States and that country.

This is how to correct your situation:

Business
Business Taxes...start
Self-employment tax...start
Make adjustments
Enter your profit in the box "Other SE Nonfarm Profit (loss)" Enter it as a negative.
