Adobe Bridge 2023 De-installation Issue

In Windows 11, Bridge 2023 shows as installed and gobbling up 1.65 GB. When I try to uninstall it, the uninstaller says it's not installed...the Adobe desktop app also doesn't "see" the program as installed, yet there it is under the installed apps banner for Windows.

How can I get rid of it? I thought to maybe re-install it and then uninstall it, yet Bridge 2023 isn't even available as a "previous version". The particular version I'm showing is 13.0.1.

Any ideas?

You could try the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool here:

I did try that. It doesn’t “see” bridge 2023 either.

Am I correct in thinking that Bridge 2023 does not show in the Control Panel under Programs and Features? If so, it looks like Bridge 2023 is not installed but all of its folders and sub-folders are still present in your system as leftovers from a previous installation. I think I would simply use the OS to navigate to the Bridge 2023 folder on C: drive and manually delete the lot. It is located at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge 2023. Carry out a system backup first of course in case of some disaster!
