also, when you install a new version you're given the option to uninstall the previous version. just take your time before clicking ok (after clicking update) to tick the uninstall previous version option.

Hi @Frederic25424161h1ot,

This is not a mess but a feature. Many a times people need to use multiple versions for various reasons. Having said that, if you just want a single version you can do the following

Uninstall the non required version from Creative Cloud Desktop app
To avoid this in future, select "Remove old versions" option in Creative Cloud Desktop app preferences. See the following article https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html
