Question

Uninstalled CC but still seeing CC folders

In June 2022 I purchased a license for Photoshop Elements 2022. I did not want Creative Cloud--I only wanted to use PSE as a standalone app.

 

An Adobe tech support agent was able to delete CC for me, but I in Win10 File Manager, I still have this "ghost folder" (for lack of a better term") that I can't delete.  I get a popup as shown in the attached screenshot.

 

Please, somebody, let me know how to resolve this.  Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the link.  I tried it twice (just to make sure I was following the instructions carefully), but the folder is still there, and I'm getting the same error message. 🙁

 

Any other ideas?
