Question

How do I turn off Camera Raw 15.0 auto-update and remove the entire app?

I have an older Macbook Pro running OS 10.14.6 Mojave, which I understand is not optimal. I have limited hard drive space left, so I know that is a problem too. Creative Cloud tries to perform auto-updates on my apps and slows/freezes my computer for hours at random times of the day or night. I have just uninstalled all the apps except Adobe Acrobat and Camera Raw. I want to remove Camera Raw, but there is no option except to update it. The other apps had an "unistall" option, not Camera Raw. Today, CR auto-update has cost me hours; now finally it is showing "Updated," but no options such as uninstall, etc. I've had to reboot several times because of this in the last few days. I need to turn off CR auto-update and/or uninstall CR completely. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

You can disable Auto update in Creative Cloud.

Camera Raw is part of and installed with Photoshop.

There's really no reason to uninstall it; it is tiny in size, 300mb or so.  Just don't use it if you don't want to.
