Uninstall EVERYTHING Adobe related

TL;DR

I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements, didn't like it. I am sticking with Sony Vegas and PaintShopPro. Now I want EVERYTHING that has the name "Adobe" on my PC gone.

I managed to uninstall Photoshop E and Premiere E, but there is still this Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service going even though I don't have ANY Adobe products installed. This service is not listed in the Windows program list and also doesn't have an uninstaller when I open the folder.

Also there are folders in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe" with the following names:

AAMUpdaterInventory

Adobe PCD

AdobeGCClient

caps

Installers

SLCache

How do I remove that?

Also this Genuine Software Service to me seems like some shady rootkit like service and it STAYS on my PC even though I uninstalled all of your products Adobe? How can you get away with that?

    Katjab23197833 I am sorry that you are facing difficulty removing Adobe software from your computer.  What Adobe software titles did you previously have installed?  What version of Windows were they installed on?  Did you utilize the steps listed in Uninstall or remove Creative Cloud apps to remove the installed software?  Is there any Adobe related titles still listed in the Programs and Features Control Panel?
