Creative Cloud Content Manager. app

[Robert Odus Williams]

I am unable to quit the Creative Cloud Content Manager. app (v 4.13.1-4) on my Mac Studio (13.0.1).  I've rebooted, and it auto-starts.  I've double-clicked the icon and tried to quit but nothing happens.  No "3 lines" near the icon.  I'm trying to "wash" excess files on my drives, and the "Washing Machine" program requires CCCM to be quit.  I'm stuck!  

Does anyone know how to quit or even delete this app entirely?

Thanks,

Robert Williams

open you the cc dekstop app > click the hamburger menu > file >exit cc

[Robert Odus Williams]

Thanks for your reply but I'm not understanding.  The Creative Cloud Content Manager App is always open and I am unable to close it or trash it.

in no circumstance should you move it to the trash.

do you want to quit/close the app or do you want to uninstall everything adobe from your computer?

[Robert Odus Williams]

I simpy want to close or "Quite" CCCM.  That's all.

@Robert Odus Williams 

again, open you the cc dekstop app > click the hamburger menu > file >exit cc

What is the hamburger menu?  Also, I'm not able to open CCCM via my desktop app.  Thanks again for your help.

but if you're trying to stop a background process, do that at the os level because quitting the cc desktop app probably won't stop most (or any) of them.

Under no circumstances should I move it to the trash? What if I wanna get rid of it what if I don't want it anymore? I've tried to adobe uninstaller and the cleanup tool I've also ran about 1 billion terminal commands and I can't find anything to remove this off my system. Adobe software is so toxic

better to rename to something you can easily reverse.  that way, after some time (duration depends on you and your caution level) you can delete if no problem and restore if you encounter a problem.

Not sure if anyone has responded on a different thread but I also recently experienced the same issue with CCCM not quitting to allow the "Washing Machine" program to run and clean up my Mac.  Below is how I got mine resolved.

1. Open the Activity Monitor program, search for Creative Cloud Content Manager, and select it.
2. Once selected, click on the "i" towards the top of the screen for more information on the program.
3. Click on "Quit" at the bottom of the screen once the CCCM window opens up.

 

Hope that helps!

and for others, as mentioned previously, to stop adobe background processes, do that at the os level.

ie, activity monitor in mac and task manager in windows.
