How do I uninstall Creative Cloud?

Question

I downloaded Creative Cloud a while ago to use the free trial. Ever since, it has just been sitting on my drive, taking up space. I have tried to uninstall it many times, but all the apps (Desktop Manager, Core Sync, etc, etc) are still on my mac. However I cannot open them, but when I go into my storage settings I can see that they are still taking up space. The Uninstaller App also appears in my files, but when I go to open it a pop-up says something like "this app cannot be opened because it does not have any content".

I have just been to a Reddit thread where they were saying to use the Creative Cloud cleaner tool, which I have run twice, and everything is still there.

I am literally going through hell to get this stuff off my computer - I had no idea it was going to be this hard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

then uninstall the cc desktop app, again using the correct uninstaller per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-messaging
