Question

Many versions of applications installed?

I know I installed premier 6, in order to have the DVD authoring tools, which adobe kindly took away in later versions, however I never installed 4 versions, or 2 versions of photoshop, or 3 versions of Bridge, which I never use etc.....

 

Can I safely remove uneeded programs somehow?

On ervery major update the installation will keep the older version by default. After a while when you are happy with the new version you can delete it. It seems that you have never deinstall the older version.

This doesn't appear to be correct at all.

 

Check my post over here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/get-started/two-versions-of-photoshop-cc/m-p/10808854#M446215

 

I uninstalled an earlier version of Photoshop, and it uninstalled ALL versions of photoshop, so all settings etc have been lost....  Many hours of work are gone because of major bugs that Adobe consistently ignores.

 

I guess you have to fill up your hard drive with many tens of versions of software you don't need.

How do you have uninstall the older versions? You have to do this in the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

I've done this a few weeks ago and it has worked.

This is definitely not the case
