Delete Old Versions of Adobe Software?

[Late.Night]

Recently, I found about 30 gigabytes of Adobe software folders just taking up space. I'd like that space back. 

1. Can I simply right-click and delete these folders, or is there a better way?

2. Do the current versions of Adobe's software rely on any files or infomation stored in previous versions' file folders?

3. What is AIRobin, why do I have so many of these files and can I delete them without breaking anything?

I attached a screen cap of the files in my AppData>Roaming>Adobe folder. I'm on Windows 10, if that matters.

Thank you for your help.

there are better ways, but current versions do not depend on previous versions.

1. uninstall cc apps using the cc desktop app per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

2. if 1 fails (and you've enabled show previous versions in the cc desktop app preferences), uninstall using your os uninstaller

3. clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

Thank you. I've found files labeled CS4, CS5, etc. Will the CC Desktop App unistall/remove these, too, or will it ignore very old versions of the software that predate the Creative Cloud, like the Creative Suite?

are you sure you want to uninstall those versions?  they are perpetually licensed so if your subscription ever ends, you might want those.

if you do not want those, make sure you deactivate (open > click help > click deactivate) before doing anything else.

Yeah, They're not installed on my computer. They were, but I uninstalled them. I think I deavtivated them before doing that. If I can free up enough space getting rid of other stuff. I'll just leave them there. 

Do you know what AIRobin is? I have dozens of folders labeled that.

it's related to adobe illustrator.  you should ask in the illustrator forum for more info.
