Flash continues to be re-installed, and I suspect Adobe CC is the cause. How do I stop it?

It appears Adobe Flash continues to be installed due to an Adobe CC update, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why, or which Adobe CC app is causing it to be re-installed?

I would love for Flash to never come back on machines, and would appreciate any insight any of you may have.

Thanks!

Flash Player is not in any way integrated with Adobe CC.  An Adobe CC update would not cause Flash Player to be installed, or re-installed.

What, exactly do you mean by 'Adobe Flash continues to be installed'? Please provide more detailed/concise information on the exact issue you are experiencing with regards to Flash Player.  If there's an update notificaiton window, or similar, please post a screenshot.

If you no longer need Flash Player, you can uninstall it using the standalone uninstaller:

• macOS: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html 
• Windows: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
  • Note: the uninstaller does not uninstall browser embedded versions of Flash Player, which are updated by the browser vendor, not Adobe.

Creative Cloud doesn't use Flash Player.  But some websites on the Internet still use Flash (although not for long). 

What is your OS and default browser?
