Built up over the years, I have a lot of Adobe stuff in my uninstall list, some even with different Adobe logos.
Which of them can I safely uninstall?

adobe_lichelper
CCXProcess
Creative Cloud Desktop App

Joakimbl, the Adobe Application Manager is required for using both Photoshop and Illustrator CC.  If both of these applications are installed on your computer then you need the components listed in your original post.

Joakimbl, what Adobe applications are still installed on the computer?  What operating system are you attempting to remove the Adobe components from?

At the moment, I only have Adobe Illustrator CC and Adobe Photoshop CC running on MacOS Mojave, so I have a feeling I might be able to remove the "Application Manager" without problems?
