Hi There,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. To rearrange your Menu bar Icons or buttons like Creative Cloud Application Icon, you need to hold the command key down . then you could drag them back and forth to put them in the order you want. You could get rid of them by command, clicking, and dragging down until you see an "X" and the releasing and it will remove from the menu bar.

 

Please let me know if this helps.

 

Regards,

Neelam

None of the suggestions in this thread were helpful in removing the CC icon from the top menubar on my iMac.

This DID work:

Open the MacOS Activity Monitor (In the Utilities folder).  Select the Creative Cloud process in the CPU window.  While Creatic Cloud process is highlighted, click the X icon in the top of the Activity Monitor to kill the Creative Cloud process.  Note: If Creative Cloud is set to launch on startup, it will reappear after rebooting.

You can also disable it from the Creative Cloud app preferences within the app itself to not load at startup. I'll include a screenshot for reference.



Best,

I am also having this issue. I don't even have the apps downloaded anymore, yet that icon still appears. Even if I pull it to the bottom of the screen. This seems to be a default if you download them to the hard drive.

uninstall every cc app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

Thanks for the reply. I just tried that and it won't let me do it:

Hi There,

 

The icon appears because the Creative Cloud desktop app is open. The only way to remove it is to close the app. Please close the application of Creative Cloud and try removing it.

 

Please let me know how it goes.
