Make CC UninstallString Completely Silent to Uninstall Software

Question

The UninstallString in the registry for CC products is as follows

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\HDCore\Uninstaller.exe" --uninstall=1 --sapCode=ILST --productVersion=20.1.0 --productPlatform=win64 --productAdobeCode={ILST-20.1.0-64-ADBEADBEADBEADBEADBEA} --productName="Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.3" --mode=2

When I run this in CMD, it open Creative Cloud application and asks the user if they want to keep the preference or remove the preference before uninstalling it.

How can I suppress this prompt and make the uninstaller competently silent. I don't care if preferences are kept or removed, but I don't want any prompt for the user.

Is there any way to stop the "keep preferences" dialog from showing up WITHOUT using the Cleaner Tool? On the Uninstall Creative Cloud Products page it lists a --deleteUserPreferences parameter but using it does not stop the dialog from showing up. This should be possible to do.
