Hi,
the only part of CC that I use on my macOS is Bridge that comes free (I use LR6 and PS CS6 that fortunately are not associated to CC).
As Bridge CC is a part of the CC Suite some extra apps were installed too.
I get the Adobe Application Manager app that it's called Adobe Creative Cloud inside itself. In the Preferences of the app I unchecked:
- General -> Launch at login
- Creative Cloud -> Files -> Sync On/Off -> Creative Cloud Sync
- Creative Cloud -> Fonts -> Typekit On/Off -> Typekit Sync
So, this helped me with the AAM that I have to launch manually if I want to upgrade the Bridge CC. Actually, it's interesting that Adobe Reader is not updatable via the AAM but use it's own updater.
What I don't like is still many processes from Adobe in my operating system, even after clean restart of my system.
How to remove/disable them without destroying anything? I'm talking about the following processes that run in background:
- Core sync
- Core Sync Helper
- Adobe Desktop Service
- CCXProcess
- CCLibrary
- AdobeCRDaemon (2x)
- AdobeIPCBroker
And yes. I am aware that I will miss features such as auto-update, cc syncing, font syncing, whatever adobe-related syncing. I don't care. I don't use Creative Cloud anything related. All I use is: LR6 (not CC related), PS CS6 (not CC related), Adobe Reader (not CC related) and Bridge CC+Camera RAW CC (both CC related).
Can I simply remove from Applications folder the following:
- Adobe Creative Cloud (there is uninstaller inside, so maybe it's a good idea to run it)
- Utilities/Adobe Application Manager
- Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud
- Utilities/Adobe Installers
- Utilities/Adobe Sync
I am OK to update apps manually. I just want them to work correctly and stay away from my CPU if not in use.
Thanks for your understanding,
Bart
