Hello I am noticing my computer getting a little bogged down, so I uninstalled ll the Adobe apps that I no longer use. However they still show up in my Applications tab of my Finder. Just wondering if I am good to Move to trash all those apps in the list I no longer use. (Sidenote I have no projects attached to those apps) just needed for school a couple times. 

Thanks for your help 🙂

What you're looking at there is just a folder - a special folder, but still a folder. So you can take a look at these leftover folders in Finder. What do you see in those folders? Do they still contain the original apps, are they empty, is there something else?

PinkSheep, please don't drag unused Adobe applications to the trash can.  Doing so can leave the computer in a state where Adobe applications can not easily be reinstalled.  To remove any installed Adobe applications, please use the process listed in https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html.
