Hi. I'm struggling to uninstall Photoshop Beta 25.1.0.2304. With other apps I could just install them again and then it would uninstall correctly but this version is not available for download through the CC app. Already tried Adobe CC Cleaner Tool but it doesn't even list the app. When I try to uninstall through Windows installed apps panel it throws the warning "Specified product is not installed on this machine". Any suggestions?

Hi @danny.ah are you trying to unintall ALL Ps Beta versions or just this one?  Let's start at the beginning and go from there.

 

1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings


Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

2. It may help if we could see your Photoshop beta System Info. Launch Photoshop beta, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

 

Thanks,
