Can we have a 'Remove All Previous Versions' button in Creative Cloud Settings?

I just got back from holiday, loaded up my work machine only to find I now had two versions of every single Adobe program installed, the old 2024 and new 2025 versions.

 

I've never used Auto-Update so this has never been an issue, but had enabled this some time before going on leave.

 

I had a look through settings to find the 'Remove previous version' button only to find that I had to do it separately for each program.

Having that option separated for each program is obviously a necessary function for people who need an older version of a select number of programs, however I think it would also be good to have a button somewhere that enables 'Remove previous version' for all programs for when that isn't required.

 

Just a thought.

the entire adobe webiste is open to criticism, but the cc desktop forum is there

Hey Kglad,

 

I did check that list and couldn't find a forum for Creative Cloud.

 

However I've realised it's because I clicked 'Load more communities' to see the full list, but you actually have to click the new button that appears after you click that button, labelled 'Load all communities'. Poor UI design!

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
