I accidentally delete this folder (Safenet Sentinel) from ProgramData folder and i don't have idea what aplication use it, asking to google Bard it told me:

"The Safenet Sentinel folder corresponds to software license protection software. It is used to protect software applications through the use of hardware keys.

Programs that use Safenet Sentinel include:

Autodesk
Adobe
Microsoft
Symantec
ESET
Norton
Kaspersky

If you accidentally deleted the Safenet Sentinel folder, you may not be able to run some programs that use this software.

To restore the Safenet Sentinel folder, you can download it from the Safenet website.

You can also try reinstalling the program that was using Safenet Sentinel. This should reinstall the Safenet Sentinel folder and restore the functionality of the program.

If you cannot find the program that was using Safenet Sentinel, you can try searching your list of installed programs. You can do this by opening the Control Panel and clicking on "Programs and Features".

Once you have found the program, you can try reinstalling.

 

Can someone tell me if this is the case and if so, i need to reinstall my ADOBE APPS again?

As a general rule I wouldn't mess with the Program Data folder as you can corrupt your installs. To be safe I would uninstall and reinstall the software.
