Agreed, I have a machine for which it is impossible to uninstall CC completely. I'd have to bust out a full drive wipe and OS reinstall just to get rid of an application. It's silly that tools for artists would need to hook so deeply into the OS and have no reasonable way to get rid of them.

well that's rich, that's exactly what I noticed on my GF MacBook Pro, always was putting off until later, good to know that it does not makes sense to spend time on this. Would love to find responsible and install My programs

  You can get unCC'd versions of Adobe tools if you know where to look.

  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.

        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.
