I would like to uninstall Adobe Flash Player on my computer because I have an Icon that appear on my screan which prevent me from seeing all taht is written on the screan. I looked and search all over on my computer to find this program but I find ABSOLUTLY nothing. Where is it on my computer ? I have no idea. Since, I received this Icon of Flash Player, it must be on my computer, n'est-ce pas ? I try to contact the company but it is IMPOSSIBLE. I went on the support team, still no answer... I find this Community Guidelines because I'm desperate to find someone that can help me. And worst of all, I don't speak English and it is just en English. No French.

    Flash Player uninstaller is available at the following locations:

     

    Note that Adobe's Flash Player uninstaller does not remove any browser-embedded version of Flash Player.

    • For Chrome: Per the Chrome Flash road-map Google removed Flash support from Chrome in Chrome 88, released Jan 19, 2021.  Upgrade to Chrome 88 to have the Chrome-embedded Flash Player removed from your system.
    • Windows 8.x/10: Microsoft has released an update, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4577586/update-for-removal-of-adobe-flash-player, to remove the IE/Edge embedded Flash Player ActiveX Control. This page contains a link to the Microsoft Update Catalog, which contains 38 files for the different Windows versions and architecture.  Make sure you download the correct file for your Windows version and architecture.

    1. Consult your browser's documentation about removing plugins.

    2. Use your operating system to uninstall programs  -- Win Control Panel or Mac Finder.
