Uninstall Media Encoder CC and CS6?

After running the uninstaller in the drop-down menu for Adobe Media Encoder CC (OS X 10.10.2), I am still left with a the Adobe Media Encoder CC.app and a Configuration folder (1.89 GB). O.K. to just delete the whole thing?

I also have Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (721.4 MB), which if I remember correctly did not have an uninstaller. O.K. just to delete the entire folder too?

Thank you,

David

    if you want to uninstall everything cc, use start>control panel>uninstall programs to search for everything under adobe cc.

    if you have other cs6 programs (like flash pro, premiere pro etc), you should leave ame cs6 alone.  but if your tempted to fiddle with your folders/files, don't delete (immediately).  rename the folder/file (i like to prefix with a dollar sign) and wait a few weeks to see if there's a problem.  if there is, rename back to the original name.  if there's not a problem, you can take your chances deleting.

    Sorry, but I forgot to mention that I am on OS X 10.10.2, not Windows.
