Please clean up the Adobe Creative Cloud files and processes.

I'm frustrated with how terribly bloated and unwieldly Adobe CC products are.  Even when you're not running any Adobe products, there's still a swath of Adobe programs running silently in the background.

 

First when you install it, it literally shotguns files ALL OVER your hard drive following no Windows standards.

 

C:\Program Files\Adobe

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe

C:\ProgramData\Adobe

%AppData%\Local\Adobe

%AppData%\LocalLow\Adobe

%AppData%\Roaming\Adobe

 

And even when CC isn't even running, there's a pile of Adobe processes running in the background sucking up your clock cycles, including:

 

Adobe CEF Helper

Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service

Adobe Genuine Software Service

Adobe Installer

Adobe IPC Broker

Adobe Notification Client

Adobe Update Service

CCLibraries

CCXProcess

CoreSync

Creative Cloud (the tray icon is NOT there, so this is a hidden process)

Creative Cloud Desktop

NodeJS Service Side Javascript

This is a user-to-user community, not Adobe wish fulfillment.   If you want to bend Adobe's ear with suggestions, feel free to submit a feature request below and make a compelling case for your position.  Tell them why this is important and what benefits will be gained and so on...

I was just getting ready to post the same thing and followed the wish fullfillment link. CC has such cool resources with an insane cost to my CPU. Everytime I use it, my whole system freezes and I've got the space, no apps open. Then I have to go through and uninstall all the installers and helpers and launch daemons. It's ridiculous. For now, I've uninstalled it for the 5th time and said forget it. Mac Mojave 10.14.6. `16 GB ram, 12 free for adobe apps, macbook pro 2017. Done with CC.
