    1. Adobe didn’t uninstall anything. Only you can do that.
    2. Which version-- Acrobat Pro or Free Acrobat Reader?
    3. Log-in again to Creative Cloud Desktop App with your paid Adobe ID (email) & password.

     

    Hope that helps.

    adobe does nothing to uninstall software.  they can deactivate legacy products, but they never remove.

     

    ie, as already mentioned, we need more info.  (and check your computer more carefully.)
