Missing Color Profile (.dcp) - workflow problem?

Question

Hi Everyone,I do artwork photography and color is very important.  I do custom color profiles with a color card that are auto saved to LR.  Every couple of years I wipe my computer clean and reinstall a new OS.  I usually copy over some Adobe files (actions, and whatnot) to transplant into the apps when I reinstall them.  I don't really remember doing this with the color profiles but there are a bunch of them still in there.  I just found a group that have the profile missing.  I can't tweak those files and re-output because the color is off now.  Is there a better way to do this? I feel like there should be a way to keep this profile with the catalog that has all of the LR edits.  Or something like that.   Am I missing something?   Thanks for any suggestions, LR 12.3PS 24.5.0Bridge 13.0.3.693Mac OS Ventura 13.3.1

On the Mac, the camera profiles created by the User are stored in a folder shared with Camera Raw. The path is:

Users/user name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles (see attached screesnhot).

If you still have a copy of the original colorchecker file for the camera, then it's easy to create a new profile.
