How do I REMOVE creative cloud syncing services?

Question

Is there a way to stop everything from syncing? This is a problem that's constantly making me rework my workflow and it's getting old. Also, I know part of it is just a folder that says "Creative Cloud Files" but I have my own file management system and it bugs me that I cannot delete this thing. I would uninstall the entire Creative Cloud software and just have my purchased programs if I could, but that doesn't seem to be an option either.

On top of that, the sync utility brings in a ton of Adobe services that are constantly running in the background, and I do not have a need for it hogging up more resources. I would like to be able to use the programs without all of the bloat.

These are all of the processes constantly running:

Adobe Acrobat Update Service

Adobe Extensions Service

Adobe IPC Broker

Adobe Update Service

CCLibraries

CCXProcess

Core Sync

Creative Cloud

Creative Cloud Desktop

Creative Cloud Helper

Notification Manager for Adobe

That's excessive.

And no, not clicking a pause button: https://community.adobe.com/t5/creative-cloud-services-discussions/how-do-i-disable-file-sync/td-p/10997131

I've blocked all Adobe services through the firewall. Solves a little bit, but it is not an ideal solution. Sure, I'll submit a request. Maybe they'll get to it in-between pushing more integrated subscriptions and forcing additions of useless extensions like frame.io.

you can pause file syncing and that's all you can control, and have a cc program work beyond the trial period.
