yes, but there'a significant downside in that you're foregoing the benefits of adobe's cloud services, update notices etc when you do that, so it's actually better to upgrade your c-drive or even add another drive and move data files to that other drive and use the cc app to install cc programs on that other drive.  (note: the cc app itself and ancillary files will still be installed on your c-drive.)

 

that said, if you still want to install the cc programs without installing the cc desktop top app, contact adobe support* for direct download links.

The Creative Cloud Desktop app takes too much space on my computer.


By @PhotoGirl 54

 

If you have that little free space on your computer, you will soon have issues running any applications.

It's time for a larger hard drive.

Um...Not a very intelligent answer. 

 

Fresco is a perfect example of an application that you'd like to run on a Surface device. Not all surface devices have that much storage, in fact my surface go 4 (pretty new) only has 64 GB. Creative cloud is simply bloatware and takes unnecessary space.
