How do I uninstall/reinstall Creative Cloud in it's entirety?

Recently Acrobat XI stopped printing to pdf.  (It allows saving as pdf fine, but will not print to pdf.) I tried uninstalling Acrobat via an uninstall utility, (Revo) then downloading another copy and reinstalling, but it still would not print to pdf.  Someone advised using the "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool (AdbeArCleaner_v2.exe) to completely remove the installation.  I foolishly failed to notice that this utility was for stand-alone installs only, not one part of Creative Cloud.  It removed Acrobat from my computer, but it shows as still installed via Creative Cloud, and I can't download another copy to reinstall.  (I haven't tried to install Acrobat as a stand-alone download trial as offered elsewhere, but assumed in my case I have to use a Creative Cloud version for whatever reason.  At this point, the safest thing to do may be to uninstall the whole thing, then reinstall it, but when I uninstalled CC via the add/remove in Conrol Panel, Photoshop and Illustrator remained behind.  So- I downloaded the CC program once again, hoping by some miracle that might fix things.  No luck.
I am starting to think that the best solution is to completely remove the whole suite, then re-download and reinstall it all over again from scratch.  At this point, I don't want to go any further without some expert advice and risk messing things up any further.    Any help anyone can give is most appreciated.

    How do I uninstall creative cloud on my old laptop and  reinstall creative cloud on my new laptop?

    There is no need to uninstall on the old machine, but you can sign out thru the CC Manager if you like and then uninstall like you would any other software (depends on your operating system).
    To install on the new machine repeat what you did originally with the old machine...
    Download/install the desktop application, sign in, install the subscription application(s).

    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    The CC has been activated twice.
    You need to deactivate it from PC,
    When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from pre installed machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
    Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
    Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
    It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
    You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.

    I have just reformatted my drive and reinstalled creative cloud and lightroom. When i open it, it says there is another version running the catalog and i have to switch to it to fix the problem, but there is no other version on my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Where did you put the LR catalog?
    Did you install the same version of LR, which one?
    OS and version?
    Open the folder where the catalog (*.lrcat) is located. If you see a file with lock in it while LR is not running, delete it.
    Now try to start LR again.

    Johnnyontherocks it is likely you installed an updated version of the Adobe Application Manager.  Remove all copies of Adobe Creative software from the computer and reinstall to downgrade the installation.
