Can't open any CC app

Hey Guys, im a bit desperate here.
I followed a tutorial to free some space from my mac and apparently I deleted something important.
i get these errors and AE won't open at all. Also no Adobe app opens. Uninstalling and installing is not helping. any clues??

Hi @Rafael24836328dseg,

 

Can you try running the CC Cleaner tool to wipe everything out, then reinstall the Creative Cloud desktop app?

Glad to hear it! Gotta be careful with tutorials where people tell you to delete files without a clear explanation.  😉

Taking the nuclear approach isn't fun, but sometimes it's the quickest option.
