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

This is so ridiculous.

Are these forums monitored by Adobe Staff? Seems like there are consistent failures to resolve customer issues.

From Chat support staff who don't seem to have any experience or training in the software, to Forum Staff Members who are never around, only solve minor issues, and give incorrect solutions, is anyone accountable?

Just saw a few responses to this thread deleted, funny how whoever's monitoring these forums has time to do that, but not to actually resolve any issues.

Gross.

on macOS i setup a cronjob to hide it (because of course, if you do it once, adobe will show it. via terminal:

crontab -e

10 * * * *  chflags hidden ~/Creative\ Cloud\ Files/

Is anyone else noticing the lack of response from the Adobe staff in this thread as of late? I'm beginning to think that they are pretending this issue has been fixed with that promised 2015 update.

HELLO ADOBE? IS ANYONE THERE?

I guess our monthly subscription payment doesn't cover customer support...

Hello,

Although I'm new here, I would like to add there is a step I haven't seen mentioned that may help. You need to right click in the white space under your folders in the sidebar and uncheck show all folders.

I bloody hate Adobe these days. Every single thing they do just inches me towards any other solution but them. Fix this crap Adobe. We should not have to tidy up your crap and edit registries because of your sloppy programming.

After TWO years, this adobe cc shortcut in sidebar still cannot be removed.

I wish Adobe would let customize the installation process.

We don't need all this bloatware coming with the CC Installation.

I for one want Photoshop only, nothing with it.

The amount of processes the Adobe CC Installer adds is amazing.

The registry fix worked for me, even after a restart. Changing the location out of C:\Users\Me did not work.

For anyone still struggling on macOS this is what I did.

1) In the Creative Cloud app on your system bar go to Preferences > Creative Cloud > Files and turn sync off.

2) Go to your home folder and delete the folder "Creative Cloud". The link in the sidebar will still be there but it will point to a non existent folder.

3) Relaunch Finder by pressing CMD + ALT + ESC, select Finder and press Relaunch.

Adobe. Why is this "Creative Cloud Files" still cluttering up my space? I don't use, I won't use it, I want it gone. LET ME OPT OUT. I shouldn't (and won't) registry hack just to get your bits that I don't want out of my space. Give me the choice.

[An aside: CC2017 has been an awful update for me. Really, productivity-killing awful. I'm giving Adobe 6 months to fix their products, which for me include: Premiere Pro - lumetri is constantly crashing my output renders and previews; InDesign - data merge preview breaks the data merge (you read that right, the preview to check that things are correct, makes it wrong); Creative Cloud - why is "Creative Cloud Files" can't be opted out?; Acrobat - it gave me an internal error, simply trying to move files in explorer, no other explanation. Adobe: Fix things. It doesn't matter how much more of the kitchen sink you throw in if I can't use it without the fear that your own programs are going to irretrievably break my projects. By the next 6 months (end of July 2017), if I can't reliably open a program, and not come across some project-breaking glitch - or some bug that takes me half a day just to work around - within 30 minutes (setting the bar low, I know), it'll become my project over the last half of the year to wean myself off of software that doesn't cut it. Don't say I didn't warn you Adobe. Let me know if you want links to the other glitches that I keep coming across.]
