Adobe Creative Cloud Version Mismatch After Update? Could Accidentally Deleting Temp Files Affect the Update Success?

My Adobe Creative Cloud has already been updated, and the version shown is 6.9.1.1.3, but under “Application Details” it still shows 6.9.0.620. After opening the Adobe Creative Cloud folder, I noticed that some files are dated 06/04 (the update date), while others are older files from 04/17. My desktop PC shows the exact same situation as well.

At first, I confirmed that the update had completed successfully. However, later I found that a folder named:

{F2CC7D04-9BBF-4594-A276-C575E585130B}

suddenly appeared inside the C:\Windows\Temp directory, and it contained Adobe Creative Cloud update-related files.

Afterward, I used the following command to clean temporary files:

del /q /f /s C:\Windows\Temp*

As a result, the temporary files created by Adobe Creative Cloud were also deleted (I did not clear them on my desktop PC).

Now I’m wondering: could deleting those temp files have affected the update process? Some components and file details still show the old version number. Will they only be fully updated and synchronized during the next Adobe Creative Cloud update cycle?

    You already received multiple answers to your question which you posted here and in other threads. In general, the Temp directory should not be managed and examined by the user. Nobody — except for the actual developers of particular software — can explain to you why the files are stored there and what their intended lifecycle is. If you simply don’t look into the Temp directory, you won’t have to spend time asking this question.
