For anyone that has like a million copies of "Core Sync helper" after installing creative cloud, and see it running even when not using any Adobe product,use this script to get rid of that garbage:

 

echo "get rid adobe garbage"
ps -A | grep Adobe | awk '{print $1}' > core.txt
while read p; do
sudo kill -9 $p
done <core.txt

Also, you can delete the coreSync helper program altogether by going to Applications/utilities and digginf into the Adobe folder. All that happened(in my case) is that Photoshop will not load my reecent files and cloud files on startup, which I don't care about. This advoce is for Mac Os only. 

 

If you run:

ps -A | grep App_name | awk '{print $1}' 

and don't get the process name(App_name) as show in the Activity Monitor app(included by default in Mac Os), then just do "ps -A > apps.txt" in the Terminal and then open apps.txt and look into the processes and their paths, which will be listed line-by-line. From there you can use "grep" to list the processes and their PID (process ID) and kill the processes. 

 

Seriously Adobe needs to get their S**T together when in comes to these sneaky programs that run in the background. If I am not running any of their programs, Core Sync Helper or any of these applications should not be running on the background.
