How to manually remove Photoshop Elements 4.0 from Windows

My uninstaller for Photoshop Elements 4.0 in Add or Remove programs fails with the message - "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." The program folder still resides on my harddrive. The program itself neither runs nor will it allow me to delete the program files' Photoshop Elements 4.0 folder that contains the executable and dll files from my harddrive. I need a manual uninstall proceedure.

Have you got the disc? If so, you might try installing it again then an uninstall.
Failing that...
Here's the Adobe tech doc on removing Photoshop Elements 5. I would assume it would be the same procedure.

  • How do I remove Photoshop Elements help files?

    Greetings,
    I removed Photoshop Elements 9, but the help files are still in Adobe Community Help 3.5.0.23. How do I remove the PSE9 files from Community Help?
    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit.
    Thanks,
    Shane.

    Thanks. Tried the FAQ before posting.  Perhaps you are better at wording a query; my attempts were unsuccessful. Am using the 30 day trial to see if I wish to purchase PE as the Oranizer function is my primary interest. Still would greatly appreciate some guideance so that I might proceed with importing contents of my HD as part my trial.

  • How do i download photoshop elements 11 to my windows 8 computer ...i have a disc

    I'm trying to install my photoshop elements 11 to my new computer which is windows 8. In past versions of windows, it just automatically downloads or at least comes up with a box that i can click download. I can't figure out how to do this in windows 8...please help!

    Hi,
    Your operating system probably has autoplay switched off.
    Use Windows Explorer to look at the DVD in the drive and double click on Autoplay.exe
    That should start things going.

  • How to re-install PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS after upgrading to WINDOWS 8?

    Hi,
    I purchased a new HP ENVY 14-3011TU ULTRABOOK a couple of days ago. It came standard with WINDOWS 7, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS and BEATS AUDIO.
    I upgraded to WINDOWS 8, installed a few programs but decided to start over new. So, I re-installed WINDOWS 8 selecting the option that will delete all programs. Silly me didn't realise at the time that it would also delete the programs that came standard with my Ultrabook; ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS and BEATS AUDIO.
    I managed to get BEATS AUDIO back, but I'm still searching for a solution to get ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS BACK without paying any $$.
    PLEASE HELP!

    have you considered HP's tech support options?  They have a forum as well and sometimes they have software along with drivers that you can download for your computer model, depending on the model.

    I doubt it, but you should ask the vendor who sold it to you. Perhaps they will do it for good will.   
    This is a forum where users interact. If you tell us the problem that you encounter with the program, perhaps we can help you.

  • How do I replace photoshop elements 9 download for windows

    I bought PE9 as a download. I want to replace it with another download and found a page where this could be done. But when I tried downloading, it skipped over the spot where I would input my serial number. As a result, the files I got were useless. How do I go about a successful download? I have upgraded to W8.1, so an additional question is will PE9 run on W8.1? Thanks in advance for your help.

    But when I tried downloading, it skipped over the spot where I would input my serial number
    Do you mean when you tried downloading or when you tried installing?

  • Manually remove Premiere Elements 11

    I have a Windows 7 PC and Office 2007 Home Premium with Adobe CS6 and Premiere Elements installed.  I recently upgraded to an SSD and Elements didn't take well to it.  I wanted to uninstall it and then do a clean install onto the new SSD.  When I try do remove  it, though, I get a 1316 error message that "Adobe Premiere Elements.msi" is missing.  Interestingly, I searched for this on both of my drives and couln't find it, then went to my mirror back-up from before the SSD install and couldn't find it there either!
    It seems the best solution is to manually remove the folders and files, although I don't know what or where they are.  I did find a list of PSE 8 files and folders, but was concerned about going back three revisions.
    I would like a list of the files and folders used by Premiere Elements 11.  Also, are all of the "Media, People, Places, Events", etc. in Elements safely saved with the photos?  I definitely wouldn't want to loose all that information!

  • How do I stop Photoshop Elements 12 from adding a caption to my image?

    How do I stop Photoshop Elements 12 Editor from adding a caption to my image?  It is automatically adding the name of my camera (as a caption) to the file any time I make a change in the Editor.  Then I have to manually delete them.

    That's not Elements which writes the Camera model in the exif, that's your camera. It's a common complaint with Olympus.
    Solution (edited)
    Use the 'Find' menu to select the files starting with the offending caption (Olympus, for instance). Highlight all selected files and right click; select the option to add a caption; leave the caption blank and click enter; you'll be prompted if you want to delete the captions : you do.

  • 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.

  • How can I ge a printed user manual for Photoshop Elements 12

    Is a printed user manual for photoshop elements 12 available?

    Hi venice50,
    I've moved your discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum. Please see this page: Photoshop Elements Learn & Support.
    Click the Previous versions links at the bottom of the Help and Tutorials list to find links to PDF versions of Photoshop Elements 12 Help. I don't know whether there are printed versions available, but the smart folks who visit this forum regularly should be able to point you to them, if they exist.
    Best,
