how to reinstall adobe creative cloud and illustrator cc 2017

[patsyflower]

Hi, I am new to the adobe cc subscriptions. I recently bought Illustrator 2017 from the adobe subscriptions website page. It downloaded creative cloud and illustrator which I installed. After installation I kept getting a corruption message in creative cloud whenever it opened. (see below). I have searched and searched. How do I reinstall creative cloud and reinstall illustrator without buying it again. I am on windows 10. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Uninstall and use the Cleaner Tool before trying to reinstall.  Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

Download/install the desktop application, sign in, install the subscription application(s).

Hi, Thanks for your help.

Questions:

1) Do I quit completely from the CC desktop app with the illustrator app still installed, 1st before doing the uninstall steps. It's unclear from the instruction as they are kind of vague.

2) Do I need to unistall Illustrator 1st from my control panel (add or remove programs) in windows, before uninstalling the creative cloud desktop app from the control panel.
