How to remove "Creative Cloud Files" from Navigation Pane?

I don't use "Creative Cloud Files" - I have sync turned off in my app settings. How can I remove the "Creative Cloud Files" folder from my navigation pane?

Shouldn't there be an option to remove it instead of forcing it on everybody?

Thanks,

Even though its a hack, it works. Adobe need to find a way to let us disable it in the settings and not to force it on us.

    This is created as a special system folder.

    You can edit the system Registry (run regedit) and locate the key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{0E270DAA-1BE6-48F2-AC49-8880DA67C722}

    Edit the value System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree from 1 to 0

    Registry editing is done at your own risk. This worked for me.

      This registry method works! Except, the folder comes back when I restart the system. When I go back to the registry, I see that it reverts back to 1.

      btw, my key path is a bit different than yours. I found mine under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{0E270DAA-1BE6-48F2-AC49-35B1307206BB}. I guess its different number for each computer.

      Any help is greatly appreciated.

      You may delete Creative Cloud file under: C:\Users\(username).

      Unfortunately that doesn't get rid of the folder showing up in the navigation pane. If I do that, the navigation pane folder stays there and only shows an error with something along the lines that it cant link to "C:\users\username" because the folder doesn't exist.

      Also, when deleting the folder under C:\users\username, it comes back after a log off/on or reboot.
