I am getting the same error message someone posted and I tried doing what he was told to do but I can't find profiles after opening color
Excellent so far, try it again in Safe Mode...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Reboot, and try again.
Your storage is possibly either corrupted or failing, based on what was shown. This may be a deeper problem.
If you do have backups, consider restoring the ColorSync profile files from there.
If you don't have current backups, consider creating some on the off chance that the storage hardware here is failing.
˜What all 3rd party extensions are you running?

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report...
Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.
There is also Malwarebytes...
A note on the initial question:
There's nothing wrong with the profiles. Ignore anything ColorSync Utilities is saying about them. The only thing that's "wrong" with them is they're old profiles using deprecated tags. ColorSync complains about these outdated tags as if the profiles are broken. They're not. They work perfectly well just the way they are.
According to the EtreCheck report, you only have 5.81GBs of free space. That is much too low. A good rule of thumb is 20% free or 20-25GBs free. You need to move files to an external or delete some files to create more free space.
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...
Hello, I tried it on safe boot but it did not work. My main problem is that something is eating up space on my laptop. I get notifications that I am running low on space, until I run the utility repair then the space goes from 3.05gb to something higher like 8.09gb or sometimes even 13.7gb. I am tired.
Make sure Adobe Apps aren't running.

okay, will try that. Thank you
I will do a backup and do that. Thank you.
I found a solution for 3 bad profiles showing. They have been fixed remaining 4.
This is the report I got. Then I downloaded Malwarebytes but it says no threat after scanning.
Thanks Kurt. :)
Thank you so much
You're welcome. :-)
Bad profiles I can't fix
