I have Adobe X on my C drive and need to free space on that drive. I have an external hard drive (D drive). So, I would like to uninstall Adobe X from the C drive and install it on the D drive. How do I do that so i do not have to pay for that installation? I do not have any Adobe X program disks.

that's not a wise thing to do.

but, if you want to cause some headaches, you would just uninstall it and then reinstall it. you might even clean after uninstalling and before reinstalling, Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

you're more likely to be successful freeing c-drive space if you move other non-os, non-antivirus and non-adobe software.

kglad,

Thanks! Turns out I already uninstalled from C drive and re-installed on D drive with help from Adobe chat support. I freed up about 4-5GB space on the C drive, which I really needed. I do not have any non-OS, non-anti-virus, non-Adobe programs on my C drive. It's only 60GB and I need that space for Windows and Outlook. I was starting to run out of space on the C drive (less than 1GB) and that was causing trouble.

I'm not sure why it was unwise to do what I did -- no problems so far.... not sure what could happen, but I'll be alert.

if it's working, you should be good. there are a lot of posts here from people that install adobe products on their non-c drive (esp ssd c-drive users) and have problems getting installed and working.

p.s. you shouldn't store your outlook emails on your c-drive.
