How to Delete ICC Profiles in Windows 10?

ICC profiles are files that contain information about the color characteristics of a device, such as a monitor, a printer, a scanner, or a camera. They help ensure that the colors displayed or printed on different devices are consistent and accurate. ICC profiles are usually installed by the device manufacturer or by the user.
However, sometimes you may want to delete an ICC profile from your computer for various reasons, such as:
The ICC profile is corrupted or outdated and causes color problems or errors.
The ICC profile is not compatible with your current device or software and affects performance or functionality.
The ICC profile is no longer needed and takes up unnecessary space on your computer.
