Adobe CC links to old account

I am trying to install Adobe CC but every time I install it links it back to an old email address. If I sign out and back in with new account I get an error that it cannot connect to Adobe servers which is nonsense as it just did with the old account. I have tried using the cleaner to remove everything but I'm just going round in circles and as it stands I cannot use any of the programs I am paying for.

Walid5C68, I followed the instructions provided by kglad (thank you) but I still encountered the same issue, however, I tried again and after checking the other folders in the users AppData folders found that if you also remove the OOBE folder from C:\Users\<user folder>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\OOBE the issue was resolved on the following install! I didn't just try removing this without a full uninstall so that might be worth a try first.
