Adobe: Your installer team needs to fix this problem. Move Applications/Adobe/AdobePatchFiles where it belongs, in Library/Application Support/Adobe. Release updates that reflect this change so we can move or delete this stupid misplaced folder. There should be no standard folder icons in the applications folder without the USER deciding to put it there, it is called APPLICATIONS for a reason.

    I am have recently installed CC versions of photoshop, premiere, after effects and muse. I discovered a subfolder in my application folder called "Adobe." This folder contains five items: "Adobe Application Manager Enterprice Edtion" - "Adobe Content viewer" - "Adobe help" - "AdobePatchFiles" and "Flash Player. - The "AdobePatchFiles" subfolder contains zipped files called names as:

    0A7EEBA6-AF53-4964-9EF7-850F307644F7}.zip

    - and there is 1,2 GB of these files, and I was just wondering, if they were remains from earlier versions of your applications? I have been using your products for years, and I would like to keep only the necesary files.

    Tiny Film I would be happy to verify these files exist.  What operating system are you using exactly?  Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

    This is correct please do not delete the files.


    if all companys do it this way 50% of our SSDs space would be wasted for backups of already installed updates and bugfixes. 

    why is adobe wasting my money and storage space this way?

    what is the reason to have this files (backups of installed updates) stored on my system?

      Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.

      Tiny Film which Adobe patch files in specific are you referencing?  Do you have a file name?  What Adobe software title did you recently install?
