Can't change Install Location back to default

In this day and age, on Windows, it is common to have a smaller SSD drive as primary (C:) and then use a traditional mechanical HDD drive as D:. Windows 10 even provides this wonderful option of "moving" an installation from one drive to another with a single click. Very nice, though not all apps support this of course.

So, Adobe Creative Cloud does it a different way. We have to launch ACC, go to Preferences and change "Install Location". (oh and you have to uninstall an app first, there is no "moving" the app.).

OK fine, what am I leading up to? I'll get to the point: If one had changed the Install Location from "Default" to something else like D:/Apps/Adobe, HOW do we then put it BACK to default? Right now you have NOT built in a method to reset that installation path to your default. I want to set mine back, but WHERE is "default"? Should I guess? I don't want to do that.

Please fix this.

Has the installation location changed for Windows 11?

you mean the location of the cc desktop app, or the default location of the cc apps managed by the cc desktop app?
