Huge number of printer profiles added to photoshop after yesterday's update

I just updated to the latest photoshop version (26.6). Prior to the update I had about 20 paper profiles that would appear in the Printer Profile list of the Print dialog. After the update the list shows a huge number of profiles, I'd estimate about 100. The ones I normally use are there but so are dozens that I have never used. 

 

I'm on Windows 11 Pro, and my C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color does not have this huge number—just the ones I have been using for years.  

 

I've attached a jpg that shows about 60% of the entire list that now appears.

 

Can anyone suggest a way to get rid of the profiles I don't want?

@Tom Goodell it would be nice to know what Adobe had in mind when adding all those RGB profiles - rather than just chucking them all into our ICC profiles folder.

I see them added on mac 

 

I hope this helps

Thank you! I made a BU folder and moved all the profiles in the one you pointed to into the BU folder. They no longer appear in the Printer Profile list.
