Sammydyer sorry that you are facing errors when uninstalling the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application.  Why are you uninstalling the Creative Cloud desktop app?  Do you have any other Adobe applications installed?

If possible could you please post a screen shot of the current error Sammydyer?  Information on how to post a screen shot can be found at FAQ: How do I capture and post a screen shot or video?​.

After this use the uninstaller for the desktop app to uninstall it: Uninstall the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application
