This wikiHow will teach you how to uninstall the Adobe Creative Cloud suite including the desktop app for Windows and Macs. Although Adobe does not recommend uninstalling the app, you might need to uninstall it if you have a corrupted Creative Cloud desktop app. You'll need to download and run the appropriate uninstallation tool for your version of the app as well as have administrative privileges on your computer to continue.

On Windows

1
Go to The Adobe Help Site in a web browser. You'll need to get the appropriate download link for the uninstaller from the Adobe Help website.

With the .zip selected (highlighted), click Extract at the top of the File Explorer window. Click Extract All and select a location to put the extracted files (this is the "Downloads" folder by default).
