[Locked] How do I remove the 'Creative Cloud Files' folder from my PC?

For me this issue is not resolved. Even patching the registry is not fixing this.

Why can´t Adobe just add a simple CHECKBOX to the settings of the cloud-app to disable this feature, so many customers (that pay for your software) are requesting for FIVE years now.

This still hasn't been fixed. I don't use Creative Cloud File Sync, I don't want the folder, I don't want it continually reappearing every time I edit the registry key, and I don't want to change permissions on the registry key because it will most certainly cause issues in the future when updates are released.

Adobe, pull your finger out and add a simple check box to remove the useless navigation pane icon -- there is a loud and consistent consensus that people don't want it. Stop treating your paying customers like children.

IKR, and you guys wanna hear something funny?

Bad customer support, bad at gathering feedback, their software are full of bloatware and lags everywhere, and they want to raise prices! In what world does this make sense? We're paying more for a product that has becoming worse?

You got to love how the first response by Adobe is DEAD WRONG and has NEVER WORKED.  They're like Microsoft.  Can you type?  YOU GOT A JOB ANSWERING SUPPORT QUESTIONS.  No, you don't have to be accurate.  In fact, the more confusion you cause, the greater your year end bonus.  You'll go from a quarter to a WHOLE dollar! 

I've been using the solution at the link below for years and it works (at least until the next Creative Cloud Update).  It's the best solution so far that I've found.  Don't trust @Adobe to offer a decent solution.  All their solutions try and keep them in control.  They can easily modify their software to ignore their own registry keys and from some responses it appears they may already have.

Everyone knows Adobe only pretends to listen to their users.

Hi Adobe are you going to fix this problem? Before the UNWANTED icon appeared, I could just click on the "Quick access" Icon at the top of the explorer window when saving or opening files from an app. Now your UNWANTED icon has pushed the "Quick access" icon out of view. A minor inconvenience that, repeated hundreds of time a day, becomes a major one. Can you please understand that "leveraging our desktops" as a marketing strategy makes people dislike your company, and actively seek alternative products. Ignoring your customers' minor requests for over three years frustrates them. It shows that you are either incompetent, complacent, or actively nasty, none of which are good looks.

I'll reiterate what every user on this thread has implied or explicitly stated, "IF I WASN'T FORCED TO USE YOUR PRODUCTS, I WOULD CHANGE IMMEDIATELY AND NEVER LOOK BACK."

Keep buying up better products than you could ever hope to engineer yourself, Adobe, it's the only way you'll stay relevant, /*cough/Allegorithmic/*cough*/.

Just reinstalled my machine and that "official registry fix" did not remove the icon from Explorer... I ran the "unPinCCF.reg", gave it admin privs when asked, restarted... icon is still there. I went to the path in the registry that the file was modifying and I can confirm there is a "1" (meaning unpin it) where there should be...

This is absolutely pathetic at this point... if you turn off Creative Cloud Fiiles in the Creative Cloud preferences, that icon should instantly disappear

To remove the Creative Cloud Files folder after removing Creative Cloud installer manually search for and remove the following registry keys:

{0E270DAA-1BE6-48F2-AC49-6ADDCBA6B3CC}

You find this under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exploorer\Desktop\Namespace

and under HKCR\CLSID

Apparently the uinstall cleanup is not complete. There might be other debris from Creative Cloud as the programmers at Adobe are still fumbling with basic Windows-Programming.

Instructions:

Type task scheduler into the start bar and open the program

right click and create a new task

Fill in the fields:

• Name

Begin the task: at log on

Tick the box "Repeat task every" and select 1 hour

Insure enabled is ticked

Create a new action by pressing the new... button

Action: Start a program

Click Browse... and locate the file you downloaded in previous step.

The file you downloaded should be saved in a safe location, where it wont be deleted (don't leave it in your downloads folder)

Copy the below screenshot, making sure the task can be run even when the computer is idle and making sure the computer wont turn itself on to run this task, it would be pretty annoying to have your computer turn on every hour

Copy the below screenshot

that seem horrible...

you can try this way..

- install "Revo Uninstaller Pro"

- right click "Adobe Creative Cloud" folder

- choose uninstall with "Revo Uninstall Pro"

hope this way can help u ..
