Hello,
It appears that I have collected quite a few color profiles in my Display settings on my MacBook Pro running High Sierra, I was wondering if there is anyway to simply delete a hidden directory to reset the color profiles to default?
Take a look at this screen capture to see what I am talking about specifically.
Thank you in advance for any help!
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13), Space Gray 512GB
Color Profiles can be either in
~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
or
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
You can go to these folders by pressing Command-Shift-G in the Finder and copying and pasting the contents of each of the two lines above.
Make sure you only trash things that you added, and not some that may have been added by the OS or some third party application.
After deleting the profiles, restart your mac (or just log out and log in if only messing with the user ones - that is the profiles in ~/... )
How many are there?
You should only have to keep clicking the "Delete Profile" button a few times - clearly quicker than looking for those profiles in the Finder, unless there are maybe a hundred of them... again, how many?
Edit: The button is "Delete Profile", and not a "-" button as I had written originally.
Hi there,
I am more specifically trying to clear out all of the other saved color profiles that don’t come with macOS.
highlight from by selecting in the column of profiles and delete.
Ideally I would like to do this in one go since deleting them one by one is going take a while.. Surely there is a way to go about doing this that doesn’t involve sitting there deleting them one by one.
How to reset Color Profiles to default?
