Can't uninstall Adobe DC tried everything

I'm trying to uninstall adobe reader. For some reason Adobe 2,3 and 4 show up on my macbook desktop but not in my applications. Everytimes i try to delete or move to the trash i get the message "The operation can’t be completed because “Adobe Acrobat 2” needs to be downloaded." even though I'm able to perfectly open the app so it must already be downloaded. I can't uninstall with creative cloud or a cleaner tool. The cleaner will run and say it's been a success but all 3 apps are still on my computer. Please help
