Hi, I have 'phantom' apps showing in CC and I can't remove them. The drop down menu at the right hand side does not give the option uninstall.
Strangely they do not appear when viewing the apps on my account online instead of through the desktop app...
Any advice on how I can remove these? They don't do any harm but it's annoying. I've tried reparing the Adobe CC app but that didn't work. Many thanks
