Question

A lot of versions of Creative Cloud

Hi, guys!

I downloaded Creative Cloud on my M1 Chip Macbook pro, but there were a lot of similar apps that can't be deleted, and I'm afraid if it will compromise my computer's performance, I don't think that's normal, as I've never seen it happen on other computers.

that looks like you "unpacked" the dmg instead of mounting the installer (ie, open with diskimagemounter).

Should I delete Creative Cloud so the amount of icons can "disappear"?

if you installed nothing, yes delete those files.  then download the cc desktop app and install it by opening with diskimagemounter:

 

install the cc desktop app from here https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop?action=install&source=apps&productId=creative-cloud and use it to install your adobe subscription and trial programs.

 

if you have trouble downloading, use the alternative download site at page bottom here, https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

The icons look the same, but the name under each one is different... so are different programs started when you click the icons?

No, it's not different program, it doesn’t matter which icon I click, every time it opens Creative Cloud, which is weird.
