Removing individual programs from CS6?

[Perrorist]

To recover some disk space, I want to remove Fireworks and Flash from my installation of CS6 Master Collection. However, I can't find a way to do this, though I'm sure I've done something similar in a previous version. Any suggestions?

Windows or Mac?

I was hoping to avoid uninstalling and re-installing CS6, which is why I've not gone down the Cleaner route.

Okay, if I have to uninstall and reinstall, are all my added assets, such as brushes, actions, etc, left in situ? For example, not overwritten? Or is backing up the best way to avoid this?

Perrorist, the backup process for your assets will vary by application.  I would recommend you have a local backup of any critical files that are stored on the computer.

For details regarding where the files are stored for particular Creative Suite 6 applications then I would recommend searching/posting your question to the forum specific to that software title.  You can find a list of the available public discussion forums at https://forums.adobe.com/welcome .

I began the uninstall process and saw that it gave me the option to be selective as to which to keep and which to remove. Quite simple after all. No reinstall needed.
