I have updates for cc2017 that have failed.. one being photoshop and the other AI. I tried uninstalling photoshop through the Creative cloud and it didn't properly install on the computer as it's still listed under program files / adobe and when I try to install it it fails because the folder already exists.
Exit Code: 145
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 2 fatal error(s), 0 error(s), 1 warnings(s)
FATAL: Error (Code = 145) executing in command 'MoveDirectoryCommand' for package: 'AdobePhotoshop18-Core_x64', version:18.0.1.29
FATAL: Error occurred in install of package (Name: AdobePhotoshop18-Core_x64 Version: 18.0.1.29). Error code: '145'
WARN: Target directory already exists: 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017'
I can't delete the folder because even in administrator mode in Windows 10 it says I don't have permission.
So I'm stuck.. I can't delete the folder, I can't install photoshop and when I update Illustrator It says the same thing it fails because the folder already exists.
FATAL: Error (Code = 145) executing in command 'MoveDirectoryCommand' for package: 'AdobeIllustrator21-Core', version:21.0.2.242

Well I spoke too soon. Everything installed except Dreamweaver, the one program I need. It the same error. The file already exists. So I uninstalled everything all over again and ran the cleaner and tried the whole thing over again and dreamweaver fails again. Same reason. The cleaner for some reason is not deleting the CC 2017 dreamweaver file and I can't reinstall it.
I can't manually delete it. I'm not sure what to do.

This worked for me for Photoshop. I rebooted after the cc uninstall though and didn't run the clean step, because it was too confusing and I didn't want do delete my other apps.
Thx for the steps.
