I need to uninstall Acrobat Reader DC and when I click on the uninstall button the icon comes up with "preparing to remove" but just stays there for up to 15 minutes and then goes off.

Hi Nancyr112016,

Please try uninstalling Acrobat Reader DC through cleaner tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

Let us know if that works.

Why is my free version of Adobe Reader using 407 mb of space on my hard drive? Other apps use a lot less.

I have a standalone version of Acrobat Pro that I don't want to accidentally delete. Plus, the cleaner tools linked are all for Windows and I'm on a Mac. But I'm really sick of the daily message to update an app I never meant to install, don't use--in fact can't use because it conflicts with my Pro--and can't figure out how to get rid of. Help?

BTW, when I try to uninstall it through my Creative Cloud window, it says there's a conflict and I have to save my work and close the program. I tried to look up how to do this and went through the Activity Manager. But, since I had no idea what process to select once I got there, that was unhelpful. I also don't know how to close the program. It just opens automatically. If I quit Creative Cloud, I lose access to the uninstall command. And I see no way to just quit Acrobat DC.
