Uninstallation of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit

Report · Jan 10, 2023

I'm cleaning up disk space on my Windows 10 PC and I see that I have "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit" along with Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Can I safely uninstalled the "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom" application? I'm thinking yes but don't want to make a mistake.

The latest upgrade to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic is version 12.1.
So yes Lr 5.7.1 is redundant and can be uninstalled if you wish.

A Lightroom 5.7.1 Catalog file can be upgraded to function in Lightroom Classic 12.1 but not the other way. i.e. Lightroom 5.7.1 cannot read a LrC Catalog.

Lightroom Classic is 7 upgrade versions ahead of Lightroom 5.7.1 with far more advanced features.
