Adobe Creative Cloud on macOS: unnecessary apps and background processes

I installed Lightroom CC on my MacBook Pro, along with Adobe Creative Cloud app.

I noticed 28 other apps installed in my computer (see image), and I don't know if they are useful or junk. Many of them are running in background, even if i close all Adobe apps.

Can I safely uninstall those apps without risk of damaging Lightroom CC photo library or whatever?

Thank you all.

Hi

I wouldn't recommend deleting any Adobe files as this will more than likely corrupt the installation of the various applications that require them.

Are they necessary for Lightroom CC app or for Creative Cloud app?

And can I get rid of the Creative Cloud app, keeping only Lightroom CC itself?

I don't get what's the purpose of the Creative Cloud app, other than installation/uninstallation of apps and updates.

Do you have an issue with the processing running in the background, are they affecting the performance of the MAC in any way, they don't take up a lot of space if that is your concern, you can uninstall the CC app using this tool, but you will need to reinstall to get updates and also to sign in to the creative cloud

Uninstall the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application
