Hi Adobe ! I have so many very old versions of Adobe (all the way down to CS3) - and it takes up so much space on my computer that my computer is full. So thought to know if I can delete something the old programs.

Thank you so much!!

Absolutely you can delete them. Most won't even run on a modern OS.  Also on a Mac, you should look in your user library and you can delete the old version folders there. However, I will say that if you saved presets or other parts of programs (brushes, saved sites in DW, etc.) you could move them to the most recent version if they are still compatible and not moved over.

    Nancy said so above. And only for the CS3

     


    Official adobe documentation that refers to cs3/cs4 and is sage advice for all subsequent adobe software.

    Anyway, it probably won't matter as much for you if you don't intend to ever reinstall any of the pre creative cloud software on that machine and really was just responding in general to all the posters that said to just delete/trash the software.
