Hello everyone, in this days I want to delete CC (Creative Cloud) with the official uninstaller, but, when I execute it, the program, says: "Are you sure you want to delete Creative Cloud?" and when I click on "Yes" the program says, "Cannot delete Creative Cloud with the Adobe apps in your device" (Similar words, but not exactly) And I have an infinite apps from Adobe, PDF, Premiere, Flash CS6, Illustrator, After effects, among others, I have search and I founs the official app from Adobe "CreativeCloudCleanerlTool" but it doesn't work, What can I do without removing the Adobe apps?            Thanks in advance 😉

You can't, as is evident from the error you get. CC app is needed for managing the licensing, sync of fonts, libraries etc and a host of other background services. You need to have it installed to work with other apps. May i know why do you want to uninstall it, if it is because of it taking up your system memory, you can choose to not launch it on startup from the app preferences

This doesn't seem right.  PhotoShop was running just fine on my PC before Creative Cloud was running.  Should be a way to separate them.

Creative Cloud is the primary app through which Photoshop & others are installed & updated.  It runs in the background to confirm your subscription status & notifies when new updates are available. 

 

Separating CC from PS would be like trying to pull white from rice.  It can't be done.

August 2022 I got this from chatting with an agent and it worked: download the creative cloud uninstaller from this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
