Uninstalling Adobe Acrobat DC

[senorwillburr]

I don't see an option to uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC anywhere in my Win 10 PC.

[John T Smith]

Right click the Window icon in the very bottom left corner

Select Settings

Select Apps in the upper right corner for an uninstall option

Default on the left should be Apps & features

Click program name in the center list

Select Uninstall

If Acrobat is not in the list, you have a damaged install and will need to use the Adobe Cleaner

Sign out of your account... Uninstall... run the Cleaner...

-for non-Cloud programs you need to DE-activate before uninstalling

Thanks for the reply, but the Win 10 road to the App Settings is not how you described, regardless, Adobe Adobe Acrobat DC does NOT appear on the Apps & features window.  It doesn't appear on the Programs and Features through the control panel either.

if that was installed by the cc desktop app, uninstall everything cc including preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

then uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

Thanks for the reply, but I have no applications installed on the Creative Cloud.

if you have the dc perpetual license, use your control panel to uninstall.

Thanks, but like I stated before, Adobe Acrobat DC does NOT exist in Control Panel / Programs and Features.

Hi Will,

If Acrobat is installed on the machine, try to visit this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Setup Files\

Go inside "Setup files" folder, there should be a folder with a name like this "{AC76BA86-1033-FFFF-7760-0C0F074E4100}" inside this folder look for setup.exe or setup, double click it and follow the onscreen instructions, it should give you option to uninstall Acrobat.

Also, you may try using Acrobat cleaner tool to uninstall Acrobat: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs  if Acrobat is installed on the machine.

Let us know if that helps.

Sadly, Setup.exe in {AC76BA86-1033-FFFF-7760-0C0F074E4100} does not give an option to uninstall.

The Adobe Reader DC and Acrobat DC Cleaner Tool, "Download Adobe Reader DC and Acrobat DC Cleaner Tool for Windows version 4.0" kept going into not responding mode.  The tool: "Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool for Windows version 2" did work!

Thanks!

Will
