How do I completely remove Creative Cloud from MacOS Monterey?

I'm running Mac OS Monterey (ver 12.6.9) and I uninstalled Creative Cloud the way Adobe describes but all the apps still appear in Launchpad. How do I remove them? It's cluttering up Launchpad and seems (so far) impossible to remove.

Adobe Creative Cloud is insidious. It's awful how embedded Adobe is on my mac. That I cannot simply remove all of it without spending hours ... why? Adobe makes enough money. Mines enough data. Why is it never enough? Why so greedy and gross?

adobe installs (for, at least, 20 years) have been infamous for being next-to-impossible to control.
