Remove photoshop from computer. Complete removal of Adobe products

To remove any software, as a rule, it is enough to use a special wizard that is part of the Windows operating system. It will also help in the case when you want to clean your computer from the installed Adobe Photoshop. To do this, you will need to go to the programs section and make the necessary changes.

To use one of the most popular methods, on the computer desktop in the lower left corner of the screen, find the button that says "Start" or the Windows logo. Click it and in the drop-down window select the "Control Panel" menu. Open this section and in a new window find the item "Programs and Features". Click on this link and go to the next page, where you will be presented with a list of all programs and applications installed on your computer, their publisher, installation time, size and version. In the table in the "Name" column, find the line Adobe Photoshop (for the convenience of users, all programs in this section are listed alphabetically). Highlight the application and click the right mouse button. Then, in the drop-down panel on the side, select the "Delete" option. Immediately after clicking this button, a window will appear in which you will need to confirm whether you are really going to remove Adobe Photoshop and all its components from your computer. Click "Delete" and wait for the uninstallation process to complete, after which a corresponding message will appear. It will also disappear from the list of programs. You may need to restart your computer to make changes to the system.

True, sometimes, in order to completely remove Photoshop from the computer, you also need to clean the program folders on your hard drive. Open the C drive, then in the Program Files folder find the Adobe folder, and in it - Adobe Photoshop, from which you will need to delete all the folders and files contained in it.

Several useful applications

To remove the remaining entries in the Windows registry, you can use the Revo Uninstaller program. Run it, then in the window that opens, hover over the "Forced uninstall" button. Click the left mouse button once and in the new window check the box next to “Moderate”, then in the “Exact program name” column enter the name Adobe Photoshop, then click the “Next” button, thereby starting the registry scan process. In the next window, a list of detected records will be presented, to delete which you need to use the "Select All" and "Delete" buttons. When the deletion process is completed, a notification will appear. To close it, just click the "Finish" button.

To remove programs that cannot be removed using the standard Windows wizard, you can use other uninstallers. Among them, the most popular utilities are Your Uninstaller, Driver Sweeper, Total Uninstall, Cleanse Uninstaller Pro, Advanced Uninstaller PRO, Unlocker, Full Uninstall and others.

Often, users who work with the Photoshop program need to remove it. This may be due to the fact that the user wanted to switch to a new graphics editor or install a more modern version of Photoshop itself. How to uninstall Photoshop correctly and completely, will be described in detail in the instructions below.

First, we remove by regular means

We clean the registry

After the removal process is completed, it is necessary to clean the device registry from "tails". To do this, it is best to use an auxiliary utility Revo Uninstaller Pro. The utility is absolutely free. It is better to download it from an official or other reliable source. Self-cleaning the registry is highly undesirable, since careless deletion of the necessary system files can lead to serious malfunctions of the system and you will have to perform a complete reinstallation of the operating system. It will be much easier and safer to use a specialized utility.

• Download and run the auxiliary program.
• In the window, click on the button "Forced uninstallation".
• In the next box, check the box next to the "Moderate" mode.
• In the field with the name of the program, enter the phrase adobe photoshop.
• Click on the button " Further».
• When the scan is completed, in the main program window you can see the registry file tree with the remnants of Photoshop.
• We click on the buttons Choose all", and then, " Delete».
• In the pop-up window, click " Yes' to confirm the deletion.
• After that, all Photoshop files will be deleted from the registry.

Now we can say with confidence that the program has been completely and completely removed from the device.

Question: I have Win 7 and Mac OS installed on my computer, how can I completely uninstall Mac OS while keeping Win 7?

Question: Completely delete data from all partitions of several PCs

I ran into a problem and have no idea how to accomplish it. Please help.
I’ll make a reservation right away that I don’t want to harm anyone, all actions are carried out in our own interests, but we don’t have a system administrator who could do something, and the task fell on a person who had not done this before.

It is necessary to completely delete data from all partitions of several PCs running WinXP SP3 (including system ones), as far as possible without the possibility of recovery.
There is physical access to these computers as well as administrator access, but the task is to do this remotely.

There is also remote access via Radmin, Timweaver to computers. But you can’t plug a bootable USB flash drive through Timweaver.
Previously, it is possible to install on these PCs all the necessary data demolition software, if it exists.
Is there any possibility to carry out such a procedure? Up to the point of installing some scheduled programs or activating them remotely?

Thanks in advance!

Answer: Max got it right.
Personally, when I started reading the topic, I immediately thought that someone wants to make a mess.
It makes no sense to erase all the data, then it will come in handy for you.
And the formatting speed of all PCs will be far from 10 seconds, if there are not super processors but a 32GB hard drive)))
With such success, it’s easier to burn a hard one, it will also be in time)

Question: How to completely remove virtual memory and paging files?

Here's a screenshot from Hades and Task Manager. I apologize for the early incorrect grammar and for the screen from the dispatcher in Italian, but I think you can still understand everything there. And thanks to everyone for the early replies.

Photoshop, for all its merits, also suffers from common software ailments such as bugs, freezes, and malfunctions.

In many cases, to solve problems, it may be necessary to completely remove Photoshop from your computer before reinstalling it. Also, if you try to install an older version on top of a new one, you can get a lot of headaches. That is why before that it is recommended to perform the actions described in this lesson.

Despite the seeming simplicity, the uninstallation process may not go as smoothly as we would like. Today we will analyze three special cases of removing the editor from the computer.

Method 1: CCleaner

To begin with, consider the option of removing Photoshop using a third-party program, which will act as.

After uninstalling the editor, it is highly recommended to restart the computer, as the system registry is updated only after a reboot.

Method 2: standard

Currently, all Adobe software products, except for , are installed through the Creative Cloud shell, with which you can manage installed programs.

The program starts with a shortcut that appears on the desktop after it is installed.

Photoshop, like most other programs installed on a computer, creates a special entry in the system registry that allows it to get into the list of a control panel applet called "Programs and Features". Older versions of Photoshop that were installed without the participation of Creative Cloud are removed here.

We removed Photoshop, it is no more, the task is completed.

Method 3: non-standard

If the program is not listed Control panels, you will have to, as they say, “dance with a tambourine” a little, since the standard Photoshop distribution does not contain a built-in uninstaller.

The reasons why the editor did not "register" in Control panels, may be different. Perhaps you installed the program in the wrong folder where it should be by default, or the installation went wrong, or you (God forbid!) have a pirated version of Photoshop. In any case, the removal will have to be done manually.

1. First of all, delete the folder with the installed editor. You can determine its location by clicking on the program's shortcut and going to the item "Properties".

   

2. The shortcut properties window has a button labeled "File location".

   

3. After clicking, exactly the folder that we need to delete will open. You must exit it by clicking on the name of the previous folder in the address bar.

   

4. Now you can delete the directory with Photoshop. Make it better with keyboard shortcuts SHIFT+DELETE, bypassing shopping cart.

   

5. To continue deleting, make invisible folders visible. For this we go to "Control Panel - Folder Options".

   

6. On the tab "View" turn on the option "Show hidden files, folders and drives".

   

7. Go to the system drive (where the folder is located Windows), open the folder ProgramData.

   

   Here we go to the directory Adobe and delete subfolders Adobe PDF And "Camera Raw".

   

8. We continue along the path

   C:\Users\Your Account\AppData\Local\Adobe

   and delete the folder color.

   

9. The next "client" for deletion is the contents of the folder located at:

   C:\Users\Your Account\AppData\Roaming\Adobe

   Delete subfolders here Adobe PDF, Adobe Photoshop CS6, "Camera Raw", color. If you use other CS6 version programs, then the folder "CS6ServiceManager" leave it in place, otherwise delete it.

   

10. Now you need to clean the system registry from the "tails" of Photoshop. This, of course, can be done manually, but it is better to trust professionals who write specialized software.

After all the manipulations, a reboot is mandatory.

These were two ways to completely remove Photoshop from your computer. Regardless of the reasons that prompted you to do this, the information in the article will help you avoid some of the troubles associated with uninstalling the program.
