    Try this Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems and if that doesn't work or actually in addition to this, try the App Cleaner (if your on a MAC; Apple Advisor OK'd) or find one for PC's.  That's what I had to do.  Adobe staff will however tell you that AAM is required to manager apps and their licenses (and I've seen arguments saying that's not true and those saying  it is, so I can't say, but I thought I'd add that as a warning before you decide to remove AAM.

    Hellokglad,

    I removed only the one I mentioned AAM.  But perhaps you can remove all of them with the CC Cleaner Tool as well.  You can remove just about anything with App Cleaner though.

    do you still have some adobe programs installed?

    did you properly uninstall the aam using an uninstaller or did you manually "remove" it.?

    what are you trying to accomplish?
