l need you to update the app so it shows the file size in the Windows App Manager. Thanks

Anything not showing files size I'm removing. I consider it spyware if no file size is shown.

if you're selective about what's installed on your computer and where it's installed, you're going to have issues with adobe.  that's not a judgment, it's a statement of fact.

I hear you quite CLEARLY and this has always been a fight I've been willing to fight about with Adobe...

Remember AfterEffects and that trojan horse software from Maxon? 

 

In 2025, I have two machines: 

 

1. For Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Software I need ondemand but uninstall to keep my machine clean. 

2. Then I have a machine with the full software installed that's offline to prevent updating by Adobe. This machine sits unused for 3-6 months at a time so I don't spend my life posting bug tickets all my days.

after uninstalling, you should use adobe's cleaner. but that still won't remove everything adobe.

Let me ask you this question back @kglad If you see an application in your app windows and you can't get details about it wouldn't you try to remove or ask questions about it. Personally, I think software created in the remote office/covid/post covid period is simply low quality. Recently, I rolled back 4 updates in Windows 11 because the updates stop me from using features.

Thanks @kglad I'm trying to skill up on these products but Adobe keeps changing them and this causes issues for me and then I post about. Thanks for moving the thread.

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.

if you plan to continue using adobe apps after removing that, you're going to have problems.
