Clicking on the Application folder the "unistall" option, PS2023 (24.1.0) doesn't uninstall (on CC). How can I do to uninstall it? Thanks

Thanks everybody, I've found the solution:

- reinstall the older version from CC (it doesn't affect the most recent version already installed)

- uninstall it immeditaly after from CC (and not from the unistall option in Finder)

Which again confirms what we've been saying all along. Do all installs/uninstalls/updates from the CC desktop app. That's what it's there for.

This works until the old versions become unavailable to donwload on the CC desktop app.  I'm trying to install the 2022 and 2023 versions so I can then delete them in the CC app, but they're not available.  Now what should I do?

What happens when you click Uninstall Adobe Photoshop 2023 in

/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2023?

 

If you right click on Uninstall Adobe Photoshop 2023 and click Show Original does that take you to an Uninstall folder with the item highlighted?

What version of macOS are you using?

 

Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Application

/Applications/Adobe Creative Cloud/Adobe Creative Cloud

 

Then under Apps>All apps next the Open button for that version of Photoshop click on the three small dots and click Uninstall.

While you at it i would uninstall both Photoshop 2023 and 2024 then reinstall Photoshop 2024 so all the file associations, etc are correct

If you are sure you are following proper Uninstall procedures. As a last resort there is a Windows tool to remove difficult programs.

It requires the Windows installation product code to identify PS 2024. How do I find that?

That doesn't make any sense. Please be specific, and post screenshots of any on-screen messages that come up.
