Will you help me figure out how to uninstall CS Suite and Master collection? It refused to leave!

Uninstall Failed - Troubleshooting tips

  1. Restart your computer
  2. Exit all applications.
  3. Uninstall again

You may also download & run the Cleaner Tool.


Tried EVERYTHING including having my company's tech support take over my computer, poured over the forums, etc. I wanted to uninstall old versions and replace with new, but the old ones are not leaving. The Cleaner Tool doesn't do much. When I search Adobe, I see everything still sitting in Common Files - so now I'm between "nothing is working" and "nothing new will install."  Right now, I feel like reimaging the whole dang computer is my only option and I don't have time for that. I have looked around enough forums to see that this seems to be a pretty common "unresolved" query. I do not have any trial versions downloaded here.

that's the best you can do without manually uninstalling or using 3rd party software to uninstall.

try reinstalling over your current install to restore the uninstallers.
