How do I uninstall Photoshop Elem. 6 free trial download that expired?

I just purchased Photoshop Elements 8, installed it on my MAC running OS10.6+ and, so far, it appears to be OK (after doing some simple trial editing).
But I want to remove a legacy TRIAL version of Photoshop Elements 6 and well as a CV3 and an early version of "help."  I never bought the trial version before it expired, thus it has been an unusable memory hog for over a year or so.
I read several questions/comments regarding removing legacy Element versions.  One commentator (an employee) said you could find an uninstaller in the library adobe folder for 6.  So I followed his sequence and found the uninstaller for my new version, but not for Elements 6.  Nor did a spotlight search turn up anything located elsewhere for version 6.  Other users (with paid versions?) apparently found the uninstaller in the suggested location and were successful in deleting the program.   I'm not sure why my trial version is lacking the uninstaller, so how can I uninstall without doing the naughty thing and dropping old adobe files in the trash?
It would be great if any removal suggestions would leave my installation of the new Elements 8 intact so I don't have to also uninstall and reinstall it!

Thank you Jon99.  That was actually the route I previously took (through utilities, not library--sorry for my mistake).  When I got there I saw PSE 6 installer right next to my PSE 8 uninstaller.  I figured, logically, that if PS8 had an uninstaller, that PSE6 would also, and I certainly didn't want to install 6 again since it was already present.  NEVERTHELESS, I opened it and, as expected, I got a message that I could not proceed with setup so I closed it. Thus my original consternation.
Your email motivated me to try again, thinking I must have overlooked something.  I again came to the same dead end, but I hesitated a moment before closing the installer, when, suddenly a new screen appeared telling me I had to quit a CV program I didn't know was open.  So I did as instructed and finally found the uninstall option.  It worked and better yet, my new Elements program is still intact.  I'm glad the new program has been improved so that those of us who are "logic-constrained" can easily find the uninstaller.  Perhaps others may benefit from my mistakes and your suggestion.

  • Photoshop CS6 free trial download

    I just downloaded Dreamweaver CS6 free trial. My first assignment wants me to work in Adobe Bridge...so I need Photoshop CS6. Does anyone know where I can download the free trials without all the garbage, tool bars, etc....I've been at this for hours. I've downloaded and removed so much extra junk and still can't get ps CS6. I started out with everything new CC, but my web design class is working with the CS6 book and programs, so those are the ones I must use.

    I had to uninstall my CC programs because they were not CS6. So, I am still a Creative Cloud member, but do not have any of their programs installed. I do have Dreamweaver CS6, just need the Photoshop CS6 so I can do Chapter 1 and Chapter 4 in Adobe Dreamweaver assignment. CC screwed up all my websites and I have to start all over. I just need a working link to Photoshop CS6 without all the baloney....cause none of those downloads got me psCS6, just a bunch of junk that I don't need taking up space on my computer

  • How do i uninstall all of the trial apps that have been imported into Lightroom 5?

    This is a screen shot from the pull down you'd get if you right clicked on the image in Lightroom 5. I'd like to uninstall all of those listed except the Exposure apps.

    Okay - but after that..
    I followed the instruction in the tutorial and did the following:
    Click Import (Existing Files)
    Select source - (pictures appear in grid)
    include sub-folders if appropriate
    Select “add”
    File Handling - Changed build preview to standard
    Apply During Import - Nothing added
    Add keywords - Added keywords
    Import (Tutorial says to click “Import” but import is greyed out and not available)
    What am I missing? The destination information does not appear. I tried selecting that before I clicked "Import" but that didn't help..

  • What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop?

    What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop?  You click on "Download free trial" and it takes you to a page that takes you to a forum… nothing happens.  I've done this about 6 times on two browsers.  Of course, there's no help from Adobe, so I'm trying this forum.  Thanks!

    Thanks very much for a prompt reply!  Much appreciated. Unfortunately, that's exactly the page I was on. And I used both Firefox and Safari and got the same page, with the same nothing...
    As this forum doesn't allow attachments, I'll cut and paste the page here (there's not much):

    Something's fishy...

  • Trouble opening the free photoshop and illustrator trial downloads, please help!

    Trouble opening the free photoshop and illustrator trial downloads, please help!

    Dear Michael,
    In response to your questions, please see below;
    What OS? OS X 10.8.2
    What happens? When i click on the ''AdobePatchInstaller'' i get this message, ''Update Failed, Updates could not be applied. This patch is not applicable for you. Please check for updates from the Help menu in your product to see a list of latest updates available. If the problem persists, contact customer support for further assistance.
    Any error messages? No
    Did you have previous versions of the software on your system? No
    Is the trouble with the download or the installation of the software? I am not sure but i think it may be the download. It shows that the download was complete and icon appears on the desktop.                                                                                I plan to buy the ''Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium'' but i wanted to try it first via the free trials, especially Photoshop and Illustrator. So please let me know what i need to do.
    Kind regards,

  • Having troble using CS5 photoshop free trial download, it wants a serial# when I go back to try & us

    having troble using CS5 photoshop free trial download, it wants a serial# when I go back to try & use it. I
    never saw a serial# for the trial download. I also copied it onto my thumbdrive so I can use it in my photoshop class.
    Do I delete orignanal download-start over again?- or what?

    I also copied it onto my thumbdrive
    That's grade A stupid. No current Adobe app will function other than on its original install location due to the many auxilairay components and of course the licensing system being required. If it asks you dfor a serial from there or even refuses to launch, you realyl mustn't wonder. if it was installed properly on a internal drive and still triggers the warning, you may have another Adobe product interfering and you may need to reset the licensing database and all that.

  • How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs

    How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs.  I have looked on my hard drive extensively for a library or utility folder that would have an uninstall program, nothing.  I want to install Elements 9, but have found out that Elements 9 does not remove Elements 6, so I want to remove elements 6 first.

    Strange that PSE6 does not show up via the control pane.
    I wouldn’t worry about uninstalling it. The two versions sit happily side by side and PSE6 takes up hardly any file space compared with PSE9.
