How to Remove Adobe Software From Your Computer

[@DarksTunes]

"It's actually easier to remove malware from your computer than it is to remove adobe applications" This is one of my most favorite quotes of all time lol.

[@baxtermoffitt5435]

And it's true too... adobe's been stuck with me since 8th grade computer class 🤦‍♂

[@P51-e8r]

That's not funny, that's really sad actually. You are literally paying the company to spy on you.

[@lexa7250]

@DarksTunes adobe is basically malware

[@gostupid172]

literally a lifesaver. I was straight up having a meltdown trying to unistall adobe

[@KevinMuldoon]

Glad you found it useful.

[@the_averagekyle]

Thank you so much for this! It's insane to think that Adobe feels like they have the right to override an uninstall on machines that THEY DON'T OWN, simply because you don't want to use their products anymore

[@KevinMuldoon]

I know. It drove me up the wall for weeks. Wouldn't go back to Adobe again.

[@Technicaldif]

It worked!! Thank you so much! Hate Adobe. I'll get a pirated version if i ever need it again just to not deal with Adobe.

[@KevinMuldoon]

You're welcome. Glad it helped 👍

[@anujjagtap1604]

but the pirated version also keep popping up some black window every now and then, its irritating

[@jordanrial166]

Why does Adobe make it so hard to uninstall

[@thomasalexanian927]

Because they don't believe in happiness

[@srinu21056]

[@128bitt]

Because satan's personal messengers went deeper into the fiery abyss of hell to tell the CEO of adobe to make his overpriced, borderline malware app a herculean task to uninstall.

[@michaelchaffee1146]

Forever grateful, I had so much trouble to delete a free trial for photoshop and after 3 hours of phone calls and tears I finally canceled it. I then proceeded to delete the files but it was not working and it all started again. But your video came up and saved me. Thanks so much!!!!

[@KevinMuldoon]

[@jbragg1001]

ive had photoshop on my laptop for over a year and just dealt with it taking up 3 gb. Never trusted CC enough to actually download their cleaner. TYSM

[@VicJournalist]

"It's actually easier to remove malware from your computer than it is to remove adobe applications" I had no idea that was true until I wanted them gone from my PC. Thank you!

[@KevinMuldoon]

You're welcome. Glad you found it useful.

[@mopsydizzle]

It does override the windows native uninstall process, but it doesn't override booting to a linux usb and forcibly nuking it that way, because windows isn't even running at all so there's nothing to forcibly override. You can fix literally any sticky windows bug like this even if you don't use linux for anything else at all. It should always be the last option, but it's always still an option.

[@mopsydizzle]

Just so you know, do this last. The tool does everything automatically. If you do it this way, you are in for a loooooong manual slog, but nothing can really stop you from doing it. It will just take a lot of time to do.

[@YLayArm]

Thanks so much! So easy! Finally freed up about 6GB!

[@KevinMuldoon]

You're welcome.

[@raptormoments]

this is insane from adobe, I quit a few months ago and am never going back, this is wiiiiiilldddddd. thanks for the vid I was about to punch a hole in my wall trying to uninstall all this.

[@KevinMuldoon]

You're welcome. Yeah I went through the same thing. I wish I stopped my plan years ago.

[@yuinyan3387]

Gotta love products that force you to install a 2nd product from the same publisher to delete them. No way I'd be sceptical about that

[@ooPHOENIXoo]

I want to deactivate my Adobe Creative Suite and install on a newer computer. How can you do that?? It mentions to connect to internet to deactivate, but while I am connected, the programs says it can’t connect, and stops the deactivation process. PLEASE HELP!!!!

[@KevinMuldoon]

Have you tried their uninstall tool?

[@128bitt]

Whoever thought it was smart to require an Adobe login to delete Adobe off of a device should be sent directly to the center of hell. It constantly runs on a computer, taking up resources, and deleting it is absolutely horrendous, even for a novice IT technician.

[@rachael4199]

This helped me so much! Would you do the same to uninstall the apps illustrator & photoshop?

[@KevinMuldoon]

This should work for all Adobe apps.

[@johnyoung6712]

Thanks so much! It seemed to work great and relieved a great deal of frustration

You just saved me a headache from trying to delete the apps there talking to much space on my computer I do got a question do you know a way to delete an adobe account/id when the delete button is not on the website

[@KevinMuldoon]

I'm not sure how to do that. My guess is you'd have to speak to Adobe directly.

Can you right click videos and open them in another program? By the sounds of it, you need to change the default program for videos.

I want to uninstall Adobe 5 software, then using my original disk, reinstall it. Reason is I have MetaRaw which seems to be a dead issue now. They will not reply to anything, offer no upgrades and so on - so I want to uninstall and start afresh with PS5. Will this work for me?

[@KevinMuldoon]

Im not sure about the process of reinstalling that particular version, but this app seems to be the best way to remove Adobe products.

If they're stored on the cloud, I'd save them locally on your PC to be sure.

[@YashBhardwaj1]

Adobe puts one undeleteable file in c drive and whenever I use pirated Photoshop then pop up came and wanted to me to take membership, that software I am unable to remove, If I closed my internet then no pop up came.

[@tzlilshurki6564]

Hi Kevin, thanks for the video, but unfortunately it doesn't work anymore. Is there a current solution to the problem? The programs are still in the applications installed on the computer and it is simply impossible to get rid of them. It deletes the Creative Cloud and leaves all the other programs on the computer, please help!

[@KevinMuldoon]

Hi Tzlil. I'm sure I went through the process once or twice to get everything removed. Revo uninstaller wasn't able to get everything. Only the official solution worked, unfortunately.

​@Kevin Muldoon - Was the registry checked for Adobe entries after using their cleaner? Can trust them after pretty much hijacks a computer - I'm close to calling it a virus.

[@KevinMuldoon]

I remember checking in windows and Revo afterwards and not seeing anything, but I'm not 100% sure the registry was clean. I agree. Adobe apps are incredibly invasive.

So Adobe Photoshop stop working the other day the Nora filters said that they are disabled from Adobe. I spend $50 a month for my Adobe package. And I have 1000 photo photo shoot that I'm trying to edit and for it to stop working right now when I'm on a time crunch is unacceptable. I uninstalled Adobe Photoshop 2022, Lightroom, Premiere Pro and Adobe Creative Cloud all off of my computer but there is a remnant of what it is telling me Adobe 2019 which I've never installed on this brand new computer that's only 3 months old. The Remnant Adobe 2019 is 3.21 GB and no matter how many times I uninstall it it will not uninstall then when I go to reinstall all my software even though I told her don't remember anything all my settings are magically saved and everything goes back to the way it was which is not what I want! I want to be able to reinstall all my neuro filter so that they work properly!

The uninstaller does not work for me. I selected to remove all (option 1) and then selected remove all from the list of installed apps (option 33) . When done if I reload the uninstall it only shows fix host file (1) and removes all (2) But when I go back into the Windows apps and features I have two versions of dimensions, and 9 versions of Substance 3D. If I try to uninstall any of them I get a message: specified product not installed on this machine. quit the installer and start over. WTF ADOBE!!!! It is worse than a fucking VIRUS!!!! All the programs are still on my machine. Of course, I can simply delete the folders but they are still stuck in my registry like a fucking tick. This is fucking making me insane!!!!! I have over 1TB, yes 1 Terabyte with a T of software installed on my machine and the only way I can completely remove Adobe from my machine is to fucking reinstall the entire operating system and 1TB of apps? Seriously, this should be grounds for a class-action suit against Adobe! It is MY machine and paid for software but I can never remove it now unless I buy a new license to get to the desktop removal tool!!!! BTW there are two versions of the Adobe removal tool now. The one you showed and another here... helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html It does nothing for me. So how the fuck do I get this fucking virus called Adobe off my goddamn machine????

@@KevinMuldoon The one I linked I believe is a newer one and it is terrible. It appears to be only for CC. You get two option repair or uninstall. It did not work for me at all.
