If you wish to have your Adobe ID deactivated, you need to contact Adobe Customer Care.
Your Adobe ID includes a free tier of products and services, including trials of Creative Cloud applications - but you do not need to use any of them and there is no billing agreement.
I think that is soo weird ... in my opinion it's just another Adobe trick to keep the people because I can imagine a lot of people are running away screaming from this useless cloud company. Adobe was great but really has fallen down in all kind of ways Anyway ... I tried to do it through Adobe Customer Care but there is no general option there, all I can see is all kind of products. Is there a simple URL or option or direct way to delete my account?

How do I delete my Adobe ID completely? There is no option what so ever to be found!? I only signed up to use this forum but now suddenly I am a cloud member and all kind of other stupid stuff I do not want? Nothing about was mentioned on the Sign Up page.

You should rethink that. People are not differentiating between the two products. There's a reason they took "Acrobat" out of the name after version 5.
This is true. At my company (and many many others) we have people who can create and/or alter PDF-files and people who may only read PDF-files. So when we mention Adobe Acrobat, everybody knows we mean the PDF creators. And when we mention Adobe Reader, everybody knows that's for the readers. Now this whole thing is screwed up by this new naming Adobe is doing. Why make something easy into complicated? I don't know but Adobe is doing it ....

This is going to be my last text too and then unsubscribe. I made this account for this forum but now I am also member of something called "Adobe Trial Communication Series" and also Adobe Cloud and so on?? This was not mentioned at all on the page where an account can be made! Adobe, you are really going the wrong way here. There are a LOT of people who just want a simple PDF reader and not all this kind of member cloud trail communication whatever kind of stuff. You made something simple and good into something waaaayyyyy to complicated and not good at all Goodbye.

@ Aadesh Thanks for that link. Curious though how long that will stay active since DC is now the main reader product? @ Sukrit The confusion is also here I see. They did change that. According to the Adobe pages you now have Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Everything to do with PDF is called now Acrobat it seems. In the past everybody knew what you meant when you did say Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. Now no more. And what you describe is why I and my work stop with Adobe Reader: it is a simple PDF reader, the cloud feature is totally useless and only there to make money. And especially for an office environment it is no good. And I am not alone with all this: just do a search on Google and the complaints are many. Thanks for that link though, will certainly use that

I made an Adobe account especially for this posting. I am not someone who complains a lot or writes all over the web about software. But for this new DC thing I make a big exception. I did build a new PC and after that I also went over to Adobe site to download Adobe Reader. Something was there by default called Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Mmm, confusing: I don't have or want Acrobat, that's a complete other line of Adobe products. So had to search but no, turns out that for some reason the reader now also is part of the Acrobat line. Plus only DC is offered, nothing else. Well okay, download and install. First impression: looks weird, a way to big tools sidebar too. Ah well, I can disable that. Nope, the sidebar is always there. Interface and layout: horrible. But okay, I can learn to live with that. Okay, next step: disable the automatic update. Nope, can not be done, the auto update is always On. Well okay, lets see if I can get rid of all the "become member" and "Cloud" notifications. Nope, Adobe somehow decided to nag people to death in the Reader so they get a paid account and go into the cloud. I really don't know what Adobe was thinking when the made this DC thing but it's just horrible. I know the side Toolbar will have the option to be hidden constantly within a month or 3, I know I can disable the Auto update withing Windows Services, I know I can use Windows Registry tweaks to disable things, I know there is a DC Configurator Wizzard to set things. But it's ridicules that all that is needed to get a normal working, simple PDF Reader!! And that is my experience for personal use: for my work DC has even more become a completely useless tool with all the things that have to be configured before the users can use it. Adobe, do mention on your download page that DC is no simple PDF Reader anymore but just another way to generate money by trying to get people to get a Adobe account so they can get more features? Do mention that Adobe Reader as we know it is no more, that it has been replaced by this DC thing? Sorry Adobe, I uninstalled this DC thing and I am looking for a good and simple alternative for at work. With sadness I say goodbye to Adobe Reader which I used for so many years. Thank you Adobe by rewarding us all with this ... this ... DC Thing
