Have you tried typing the exact profile name of one of the profiles into spotlight - this should locate their whereabouts.

On my system (not Snow Leopard) my EIZO/Navigator generated profiles are stored in 'my' library > Colorsync > Profiles

'my' library > Colorsync > Profiles  ,  has not the same list

Where does it point you if you go to options>Show in Finder?  They should definitely be wherever that points you...

Click on this "Options" button in your screenshot from above and you should see "Show In Finder" as one of your choices:

then I get only the location of ColoroNavigator gent in Apllications/Utilities

I wonder if they are not in a kind of database

Well, not sure. Mine are in root/library/colorsync/profiles or root/library/colorsync/profiles/monitors.  Did you look inside the system profiles folder?  Can't imagine the software would tuck it there, but worth a look: system/library/colorsync/profiles.  Only other place it can be is /user/library/colorsync/profiles+, and you've looked there.

they are not in

root/library/colorsync/profiles
root/library/colorsync/profiles/monitors
system/library/colorsync/profiles

for you the list in the dock is exactly the same than the one in  root/library/colorsync/profiles or root/library/colorsync/profiles/monitors  ?

I don't understand why my 2 list are  different  and why I cannot find them with  "CG243W_"


thank you

The profiles might be located in the application package. Try to control-click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents" ("Afficher le contenu du paquet" in French).
You could also try to use the terminal to search the content of the disk. In a terminal window try something like (without quotes):
     sudo find / -name "CG243W*" -print
Note: searching via the find command can be very long…

with Show Package Contents je ne connaissais pas l'astuce !   I don't find it
and with sudo find / -name "CG243W*" -print the box asks a password but  I have no password, if I try enter , it asks the password again

merci Francois

The ColorSync utility should be able to locate all profiles, even those in packages and provide a path to their location. Once you find them, trash em.

The password asked is the password associated with your account. Sudo doens't work with a blank password. You can try to set a new password for your account (and remove it after you've searched the hard drive).

I don't know if this utility can be helpful but before setting a new password and using the terminal, try this:

Good luck!

Forgot the good old ColorSync utility... It should faster than my other suggestions.

I finally found it :  right click on the list  in ColorNavigator Agent  , delete , rename ....
but the list is certainly into a database
