Uninstall Bridge CC

As Bridge CC was installing, I found the options button on the CC manager to change the default installation into a folder instead of loose into Applications. Now I would like to do a proper uninstall/reinstall before installing the other applications from Creative Cloud because I want Bridge to be in the same folder with the others, but don't see how to uninstall. ~ Jane Mountain Lion

There are no uninstallers at the OS level on the Mac.
Adobe, however, has been installing Uninstallers as part of the default Photoshop installation in recent versions. Up until Photoshop CS3, the Adobe Photoshop Uninstaller was installed only in the Applications/Utilities folder. As of CS4, an alias of the Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS4 application is installed inside the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4 folder. It's still in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder.
Up until the CS6 Perpetual License release, there was no Bridge uninstaller. You have to uninstall Photoshop in order to uninstall Bridge.
I have no clue what happens in the Cash Cow subscription model, though. Just though you'd find this interesting. :-p

It's not the "root" drive but the BOOT drive on a Mac, usually called "Macintosh HD" unless and until the user re-names it.

How to uninstall Bridge to do a clean install?

How best should I uninstall Bridge (CS2) and all the other Adobe applications that might have anything to do with Bridge so that I can make a completely new clean install?
I have Photoshop CS2 (with ImageReady CS2) and InDesign CS2.
Separately I have Adobe Lightroom 2.3 but that does not use Bridge at all as far as I know. It even uses a different Camera Raw version.
Thanks for the assistance. I am trying to fix a problem where Bridge will not show me any thumbnails except a bunch of white boxes that are not even the correct number of thumbnails for the folder I am trying to display.
I asked a separate question about white thumbnails with no solutions be found.

Hi John,
Tried all that - no luck in getting it fixed as the other discussion mentions.
Need to get rid of everything Bridge related so that I get a good fresh clean install. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop trying to get this fixed but to no avail, so thinking I need to really wipe out everything to do with CS2. Photoshop and Bridge worked for several years, then something happened - probably having to do with the reinstalll of Win XP.
Thanks for your reply.
VB
I thought that might be the case.
So your best bet as you say is to uninstall normally from the Control Panel and then manually remove all files and folders related to CS2.
Remember this is not just in C:\Program files
but also in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\9.0
and possibly C:\Program Files\Common Files.
I would then run a registry cleaner like CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/

My Bridge CC opens in a locked mode - I cannot make any changes (dump cache) - it says "other instances of Adobe Application Manager are running, which must be closed." I have to force quit Bridge to get out of it. I tried to uninstall Bridge and re-install it but it did the same thing. Any ideas where to go next?
The fact that I uninstalled Bridge and reloaded it has me concerned as to what to do next.?

You need to force quit all other (real or fake) instances of the Application Manager. Instructions differ between Mac or Win.
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

Can I uninstall Bridge?

I have the master collection, but at the moment only installed the design suite programs (because I don't have time to load it all on yet) And I was wondering with the programs I installed if uninstalling bridge will corrupt or make problems for any other programs that are on. I originally wasn't planning on installing bridge because it's such a memory hog, and just plain pointless in my opinion (another story for another day), but it didn't give me the option which was kind of frustrating.
If anyone could tell me if it will be okay to uninstall bridge, you would be helping me out a lot. Thank you.

You can't uninstall Bridge without jumping through hoops.
You don't mention if you have CS4 but if you do I suggest that, rather than messing with your system, you seriously consider learning what Bridge can do – it's vastly improved.
And, correctly configured on a correctly configured computer, it is NOT a memory hog.
You must be doing something wrong!

Uninstall Bridge CS5.1 or Photoshop CS5 w Bridge in Windows

How can I uninstall Bridge CS5.1? I have tried to uninstall it everyway I know and all I get are error messanges stating that I cannot uninstall bridge or Photoshop CS5 because I get the error message that the file is open in another application and so cannot be deleted! I closed everything and still cannot delete or uninstall either program. I have tried renaming it etc.... I have even tried using administrator override and still cannot delete it. Any help would be appreciated.

That is absolutely NOT the case. All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS. They will always install the full version without regard to any previous version(s) you may or may not have on your disk. They do not build on older components, they install the entire new version from scratch. They leave older versions completely untouched.
The only thing they do in regards to an older version—whether that older version is activated or not—is to read the older serial number. If they find no prior versions on disk, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the nwew one.

Uninstall Bridge CS5?

I feel really stupid, but is there any way to uninstall Bridge from CS5 Master Collection? I've looked everywhere in the Programs and Features module in Windows 7. I've tried Googling it to no success. I've easily uninstalled previous Bridges with no problems, but removing Bridge CS5 is driving me insane!
Is there a way to do this, or is Adobe just forcing more bloat on me?

Bridge is, and never was, a seperate program. It comes bundled with PhotoShop. So no, you can not uninstall it seperately.

Although i have uninstalled Bridge CC it looks still installed on AAM and now i can't reinstall it.

Because of an OS problem while troubleshooting Win 7 deleted .exe file of Bridge CC. On AAM it looks still installed but i can neither run nor reinstall it. Which files should i delete in order to see Bridge CC uninstalled on AAM.

Hi alicinki.com,
Please try to install Bridge from the direct link: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html .
Kindly follow the very important instructions before download.

After uninstall, Bridge CC will not reinstall

I have a new computer (PC). I downloaded Bridge CC soon after I first got the computer and admittedly did not use if for several weeks. When I went in to first use it there were several drivers missing. I thought the easiest thing to do would be to do an uninstall/reinstall. The uninstall occurred flawlessly but when I attempt to reinstall it looks like it is downloading but just remains at "Installing Bridge CC (0%)". I did restart my machine after the uninstall. I can download from other sites without issue. Thoughts?
If it helps, I am going into Creative Cloud to install. No issues with my internet connection. I did not uninstall anything other Adobe app since I was not having issues with others.
TIA
Brian

Bcurrie100 please utilize the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html to reinstall Bridge CC.

I am trying to uninstall Bridge CS6, but there is no uninstaller. Running OSX Mavericks.

I have Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 installed on my MacbookPro, and would like to remove Bridge CS6. I have followed the uninstall instructions for the other CS6 Suite of products I had, but I am unable to find a Bridge CS6 uninstaller. How do I remove Bridge CS6?
Cheers

Ahhhh, Thank you Ashutosh.Nigam I did wonder if that was the case.

How can I uninstall Bridge CS5 after purchasing Bridge CS6

Hi,
I have downloaded photoshop CS5 trial. It came with Bridge CS5.1. Now, I have subscribed to Adobe Cloud with Photoshop and bridge CS6. But I still have Bridge CS5.1. How can I uninstall it please ?

You need to uninstall PS CS5.1 and then reinstall CS6 to fix file associations.

Uninstall Bridge CS6 - not listed in programs/control panel

Hi - I have updated my photoshop and bridge to the new Photoshop Creative Cloud. I have successfully uninstalled Photoshop but when I look for Bridge CS6 (64 bit) there is nothing. The new Bridge CC is listed. Any suggestions on how I remove the old program?

and then installing any cs6 application including photoshop cs6, will bridge cs6 be installed aswell?
To return to the original question, yes
Installing PS CS6 also installs Bridge CS6. You can have multiple versions of CS installed on your computer without problem, as long as you have space. You can also multiple versions of PS open and active at the same time if the resources of your computer are sufficient.
However you can have only one version of Bridge open and active at the same time. If you want to switch to an older or newer version you first have to quit the open Bridge and start the other wanted version to use it.
Also they use different Cache libraries so after opening it first have to read the cache (normally a short task) and also caching the new files (depending on amount and file size this can take some time) will start upon opening.

Uninstalling Bridge CS4

I have tried everything to remove Bridge CS4, along with ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 and Extension Manager CS4, with no luck. If I try and uninstall Web Standard CS4 it gives me the option to remove Bridge as well and when that completes it claims that Bridge was successfully removed. However, it is still there and I can launch it without issue. I have tried using the CleanScript for CS4 and CS5, neither bring up Bridge as a program to remove. I have uninstalled everything related to Adobe through Windows Add/Remove Programs as well as everything the Adobe CleanScript offers to uninstall and Bridge is still on my system.
Does anyone have any suggestions for removing Bridge from a system. I running Windows XP Pro SP3.

Yes, it will.

Uninstalling Bridge

Hi - How do I uninstall Adobe Bridge versions: CS4, CS5, CS5.1, CS6?
Version CC has an uninstall button, but I dont want to unistall that version!
(OS 10.9.2)
Thanks,
Derek

Bridge CC is the only version you can install separately to Photoshop.
In my experience, it's best to uninstall old versions BEFORE installing new versions of Photoshop/Bridge. Otherwise, it can cause nasty problems.

Uninstall Bridge CS3

I have both Bridge CS3 and CS4 installed on my system. Neither of them show up in my list of programs from the Control Panel Programs and Features. I want to uninstall CS3. How do I do that?

You might check out CS3 clean scripts. It is supposed to remove remnant program in CS3 and fix registry problems. Look for info in Knowledgebase search.
