How do I remove CS6 product from CC 'umbrella'?

Question

I'll try restating my problem for what is at least the fifth time. I am licensed user of Creative Suite CS6. I also subscribe to Creative Cloud. I need to run both versions of Photoshop, CC because of its enhanced features and CS6 because it doesn't break any plugins. (Believe me CC does!) Since subscribing to CC, my CS6 updates are badly (mis)managed by CC. I can't update PS CS6, although I never had a problem before. Now update fails. One common Adobe suggestion is to uninstall and reinstall to restore the useless (to me) language files. However, the Adobe experts are waffling a bit, so the problem may lie elsewhere. Someone replied to my last mention of this issue by suggesting that I run the CS6 clean-up tool after uninstalling. Ridiculous! This clean-up utility might well be as flawed as the updater?
CS6 Creative Suite isn't granular. My installation DVD offers no single file operations that would include the shotgun approach of uninstalling (and probably breaking) any single app. Nobody at Adobe has published any useful information on how much reconfiguration might be required.
The forums provide convincing testament to the hard fact that CC activation and updating are works in progress that have wasted countless user hours, including many of mine. If Adobe can't provide working updates, the very least they could do would be offering fully updated installers for the products CC won't update. Even when Adobe support was good (pre-CS4), this degree of user accomodation was rare, so I'm not holding my breath.
The ultimate slap in the face was when I discovered that my retail copy of CS6 now demands routine reactivation as part of the CC license. Adobe, your activation servers are slow, sometimes behaving like they were overloaded or under attack. Yeah, I accepted the CC package because [you] offer no alternatives, and the updates justified the commitment. Nowhere was it made clear that [you] would be essentially crippling a perpetually licensed CS6 product by requiring reactivation on top of updates that don't work.
I'm asking someone at Adobe to restore my Creative Suite CS6 to its original, fully unencumbereded condition. The groundswell of unhappy CC users is growing. If this request goes unanswered, or if I get another idiotic suggestion to atone for the defects of the CC updater by doing a lot of possibly pointless grunt work myself, I may have to consider measures to consolidate unhappy users and use group momentum to expedite resolution as [we] deem fit.

Hi, if this is right this is an extremely annoying bug. The idea of installing CS6 again from scratch "just in case perhaps it might work is no fix for me" There are a number of updates that would need to be applied before I got anywhere near the installation I have at the moment that works just perfectly "CS Version at least".
I've got too much work to do to spend time doing stuff like re-installing all my CS Apps just in case, better things to do.
I'll have to hope adobe fix this bug or lets call it a missing feature of the installer "button that says stop trying to update me" for each app, or a setting in it's preference".
Annoying as it is I'd just put up with this Red warning symbol in the updater in the menu and them populating the drop down menu in bright red for ever more or at least until I get another computer, that's easier and I'll go back to my old faulty setup on my iMac if I have to, after all if I do that I'd have to un-install CC on that computer anyway.
Maybe it's time to get that MacPro and clean install, then at least I'd have a worth while reason.
Then possibly at last Adobe Illustrator would run faster.
