CC was installed on a brand new Mac Air.  I am now using Sierra IOS system.  I did not know you can't put folders in trash, but i did and emptied trash.  I spent 2 hrs with Apple on the phone, reinstalled the new IOS system and when I go to the CC icon, it says I don't have any files to uninstall.  HOWEVER, when I go to my activity monitor, CC is using MOST of the energy on my computer draining my battery.  Please help!
