I've found a fix that has worked for me at least, restarted a couple of times and the intrusive, unwanted Favorite is gone from my Finder windows: 1. Remove the offensive Creative Cloud Files shortcut from the Finder window, just like you have to do every single time you restart 2. Make sure Creative Cloud sync is off (in Preferences). I also had it not even launch at login. 3. In the Finder menu, --> Go --> Go to Folder ... (or Command-G) and type in "~/Library/Preferences/" 4. Open the file com.adobe.accmac.plist, I used TextWrangler rather than TextEdit. 5. Find the line "<key>AHPreferenceFirstLaunch</key>", it was line 25 on mine 6. Change the line right below it from "<true/>" to "<false/>" 7. Save, exit, close all windows and restart. Hope it works for everyone!
