It's really easy to uninstall their stuff from a Mac. Done it a few times. Just use the CC cloud app to uninstall the main apps then use the CC uninstaller to do it. Then reboot the mac. There are some things left in ~/Library you can clean up manually afterwards and that's it.


It's not a full uninstall -- all kind of weird stuff sticks around that hooks into various places. Just Google all the things people do just to get the Adobe CC stuff out of their Launchpad. Many users just create a junk folder and throw it all in there because there is no way to get rid of it on some machines.


That’s absolutely not true.

The internet is full of articles and people who cannot uninstall Adobe CC.


I did it absolutely fine. There is no junk on the disk and no processes sitting there.

A lot of the articles out there are trying to sell cleaning software so they make it look harder than it is.


so this is a case of "it didn't happen to me so it must be false"


It's a deterministic test case that I can reproduce. Prove me you can't.


You've misplaced where the burden of proof lies.


I don't really care enough to stop people suffering any further.

Works for me. Ticket closed :)
