Why uninstalling Creative Cloud should feel like uninstalling malware ?!

New Here ,
Dec 26, 2025 Dec 26, 2025

I recently noticed that my machine has this software installed, recently I tried Photoshop and that was left after I uninstalled it. However when I tried to uninstall a message along the lines: "You have other installed apps that prevents this from uninstalling" .. I had no apps and I had to read forums, download some cleaner tool and only then I was able to uninstall it...  common Adobe - you can do be better I believe in you!
