Stop stock photo auto downloading

[chitravis]

I'm using subscription based CC and it keeps automatically downloading what seems to be sample stock photos to appdata\roaming\adobe\ccx welcome. If I delete the images they come back when I restart my machine. Is there a way to stop this?

This is an issue with CCX and not specifically Stock, which is just an example folder that gets populated on the C drive and eats up valuable space.

This is a Creative Cloud issue, Stock does not have any sample images nor does it have anything that would be installed on a user's system.

Hi WendellaBee, what are these files then if not Stock sample images?

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CCX Welcome\stock\assets

look(ed) like stock images to me.  i just zipped them (in prep for deleting), restarted my computer and they are gone:

Hi Chitravis,

I think these are screenshots for tutorial content which gets automatically downloaded in the background.

Best,

Is there a way to turn it off or prevent it from downloading them?
