For registration, the user fills out the form twice: Basic and Advanced.
Can I disable the second Advanced registration form?

In Profile module
/modules/profile/admin/step.php
set the "Save after stop" to "No" for Basic and Advanced, but both forms are displayed.

Go to the Profile administration area "Registration Steps." From there, you can delete the Advanced step completely.

You can add anything from the old Advanced step to the remaining Basic step. Edit the Field definition, and set "Show in registration form" to Basic.

As Richard explained, it is easy to do, however, this is not recommended, because you make it easier for spammer bots to register.

Our recommendation is to have both forms, and save it only after the Advanced form is filled out. This way when the bot comes and fills out the first form, it clicks on the "Submit" button thinking that it is now registered and leaves. But since the data is not saved yet (because it didn't fill out the Advanced form), then it doesn't register and you have one spammer registration less...

For anyone new to the Profile module (me included) to force the multi-step registration you need to open the 'Registration Steps' screen in the module admin and click on the green tick in the 'Save after step' column in the 'Basic' row to turn it into a red cross. Otherwise, the validation email will be sent once the first form is completed, even if the person abandons the second 'advanced' form without completing any of it.
