If I uninstall creative cloud, will I still have access to and be able to use photoshop?

Creative cloud is using a lot of memory space and all I use is photoshop (for about the next 4 weeks) for school. If I uninstall CC will I lose photoshop also?

    Creative Cloud App is necessary for you to use Adobe’s apps/services and verify your subscription status.

    Removal won’t help you. Instead, remove other non-essential apps, and move work files to external drives to free up some space.

    you’ll probably have some difficulty doing that properly and there are undesirable consequences.

    Thanks much. I wguess I will wait until I no longer need Photoshop and the end of my courses and find an alternate source.
