Premier Pro and After Effects unable to open

Sooo I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm all new to Adobe software (I really only use Premiere Pro and After Effects) so I've basically been figuring stuff out through trial and error. Unfortunately, this causes a bunch of technical errors because, ya know, you don't know what you don't know. In an effort to clear space on my computer, I deleted a bunch of thought to be "random" folders, such as 22.0, Adobe, etc, all the ones that automatically pop up on your computer after installing Adobe apps. Now, I'm unable to open neither Premier Pro nor After Effects without some kind of error popping up. I'm not sure if this was due to me deleting the folders but that was the only sensical explantion I could come up with on my own. I've scowered forums but haven't found any concrete solution. I have project files on those apps for my job so needless to say I'm freaking out. Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it??? Thank you!!!
