Which programs can I uninstall?

Currently, I have on my system Adobe Bridge 2019 and Adobe Bridge CC 2019, Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshsop CC 2018 and Photoshop CC 2019.  Does it make sense for me to remove Bridge 2019 (keep Bridge CC 2019), remove Lightroom Classic (keep Lightroom), and remove Photoshop CC 2018 (keep Photoshop CC 2019)?  Is there any interdependence among these?

    There are definitely some differences there that are not obvious just by looking, so:

    • Adobe Bridge 2019 and Adobe Bridge CC 2019: Adobe is removing the "CC" from product names, so you can uninstall Adobe Bridge CC 2019 because the one without the CC is newer.
    • Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Lightroom Classic: This is a basic workflow decision. Do you intend to use Lightroom (store all your original images on Adobe cloud servers), or Lightroom Classic (store all your original images on your own local drives)? It is possible to use both, but only if you fully understand the complex file management and storage space issues involved, so most people are better off picking one and uninstalling the other.
    • Photoshop: This one's easy, keep 2019, uninstall 2018.

      Uninstall the ones you don't use.
