9. After the uninstallation process is complete, restart your computer to ensure that all remnants of Adobe Creative Cloud are removed.

10. After restarting your computer, check the list of installed programs again to make sure Adobe Creative Cloud has been successfully uninstalled. If it is still present, you may need to repeat the steps or consider using a third-party uninstaller program to force the removal.

It’s worth mentioning that forcing the uninstallation of Adobe Creative Cloud may result in incomplete removal or leftover files. If you encounter any issues or errors during the uninstallation process, you can reach out to Adobe support for further assistance.
