Creative Cloud & all utilities entirely broken

I tried to get rid of all the Adobe products on my Macbook the other day because they're sitting around gathering dust on here while I use them on my primary computer. Everything went fine until I came across the frustration of the Camera Raw plugin. Rather than look up how to delete it like a normal person, I went straight into my Macbook's Library folder and manually deleted pretty much every file associated with an Adobe product. This was a very stupid thing to do, as not only was I unsuccessful in deleting Camera Raw or the Creative Cloud application, now the Uninstall utility and Diagnostics won't even open. I have angered my Adobe overlords and I repent miserably. I have already tried re-installing Creative Cloud. Everything is still broken. Please spare some advice, and let me know if I am entirely screwed and will need to replace my hard drive.

The CC Cleaner app is entirely gone. Even with re-installing it is not here. The CC Installer won't open.

Oh, I was unaware the CC cleaner required a separate installation. I thought it was part of the Creative Cloud installation. On using it, it's cleaned up everything except the content manager.
