Install to another drive not working.

Hi,

 

I have CC install on C: drive.

 

I go to Pref>Apps>Change the install location to 😧 drive. CC refreshes. 

 

I install Photoshop and it installs on C: drive NOT 😧 drive.

I uninstall and reinstall and it still installs on C: drive. 

 

How do I install my programs on another drive?

 Am I doing somehting wrong? I've Googled the web and found no solution.

 

Thanks!

OK! I figure it out!

 

I ran the uninstaller/repair found here - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

 

I did a repair. Then opened CC. Pref > Apps > Install Location > Changed to the desired drive (D drive in my case) > Uninstalled Photoshop > Reinstalled Photoshop. BAM! It installed on the correct drive. I'm guessing CC was bugged.

Please note: Some files and folders will still be installed on the C: drive.

Thanks Axel for your reply but I'm not sure this answers my question. 

To clarify. CC is install on C drive. When I change the preferences to install Photoshop on D drive it still installs on C drive. If I navigate to the D drive folder location (where photoshop should be installed) the folder is empty.
