Reinstallation on different partition

Downloaded the apps when I finally caved and signed up for a subscription a couple weeks ago. Wasn't paying attention and installed it to the wrong partition - which is frighteningly close to being full. If I uninstall all the apps am I going to have a problem trying to reinstall them? And do I have to do the uninstall from the Adobe site?

Hi Exbrooklyn98,

You have mentioned that you would like to install the Adobe Creative Cloud apps on a different drive location of your computer. Yes, you can configure the installation destination from within the Creative Cloud app preferences to do so; however, we would suggest that you install your application on the primary drive or C drive only.

Please be aware that there will still be shared resources stored to your primary drive, In addition during the install process temporary files will also be created on your primary drive.

Please see the screenshot below for more information:

Note: Since you have already installed the apps you'll have to uninstall them and make the location changes in Creative Cloud Desktop app, after that reboot the machine and now install your apps again and it should install on newly selected location.

To know how to uninstall the CC apps please refer to the following help document: Uninstall or remove Creative Cloud apps.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks, but the link to the screen shot that you sent doesn’t work. I’ll have to take my chances and uninstall and reinstall to the partition set up for program installations. There is just not enough room left on my C drive.
