Uninstall Photoshop CS5

I used the trial Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended & after the 30 days it expired. When I try to remove this product using the Add/remove programs in the control panel of Windows XP the Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not in the list so I cannot completely remove it using windows S/W. However, the files (approx 6GB) were still on my desktop in a folder called Adobe which I had to move to my D drive as I had run out of disk space on the C drive. Can I just delete these files? In addition I also have the files:
C:\Programs\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD
C:\Programs\Common Files\Adobe\Caps
I don’t know if there are any other files used by Photoshop on my system but I have an entry in my register for Adobe photoshop. Can I manually remove these files and remove the registry entry or is there a way to get windows to do this more thoroughly?

Adobe has published a removal tool:

    Should I uninstall Photoshop CS5.5.1 before installing Photoshop CS6? If so, how do I do it?

    You can remove the software by going to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.  You will find the uninstallers located there.

    How do I uninstall Mac Photoshop CS5 when I have installed CS5.1 also? The Adobe Application Manager just shows one version to uninstall which I would guess is the CS5.1 version.

  • Fixing or uninstalling Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.LS4 32-64 bit suite

    HI
    There is a utility to fix all the permissions of files and registry keys of Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.LS4 32-64 bit suite installed on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit or uninstall it completely and correctly?
    THANKS
    BYE

    What exactly are you implying? There is no such thing. If there are permission issues, you did not install as admin in teh first place or these permission issues are generally inherent in your user and group policies. This is nothing that Adobe could or should fix for you...

  • I can't uninstall photoshop CS5

    I really need your help!!
    I have installed Photoshop CS5 inserted my serial number and then it asked me to put in my account stuff and i have but it won't recongnise it.
    So i need to uninstall it but i can't as it is not showing on my Add or Remove Programs. I need to uninstall it as it is taken up my memory. I need some help :/
    Kind Regards
    Jordan

    If the Serial Number is not being recognized, then a call to Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) should get you going. Just have your S/N and invoice handy.
    For general installation problems (not Activation, or S/N issues), contact Adobe Technical Support. T/S for installation issues is free. Again, have your S/N and invoice handy.
    For complete removal of the program, the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool CS 5.5, should help you. I'd run it a couple of times, rebooting between each run.
    Good luck,

  • Do I need to uninstall Photoshop CS5 to get creative cloud to work?

    I've done almost everything on the list of things to do to get the blue spinning wheel to go away when I click on the apps. One of the options says to uninstall Creative Suite 5 and Elements 11 applications. Does that include Photoshop CS5? Not going to do that if that is the case. The other option is to delete the entire contents of the OOBE Folder which then says it will make Creative Cloud upload slower, which doesn't sound like a great option. This whole creative cloud experience has been terrible and I want it to stop. Thanks

    CS versions have nothing to do with CC, neither technically nor in terms of licensing. While it is imaginable that the activation systems collide, that's like a one in a million chance. Therefore uninstalling CS% probably would not fix anything. the rest we cannot know. you have not provided any system information or other useful technical details.

  • PDF Presets lost in CS4 after uninstalling Photoshop CS5 trial

    Upon removal of the Photoshop CS5 trial, I lost all of my Save as Adobe PDF Presets (.joboptions) in the CS4 versions of Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign. I miss them... so much....

    Add me to the list of those affected as well....  *sigh*
    Edited to add:
    So I contacted a friend and he sent me a copy of his default presets.  These need to be installed in the Macintosh HD > Library > Applications Support > Adobe > Adobe PDF > Settings folder.

  • Uninstall Photoshop CS5.1 not working - Error 6

    Hi. As my Photoshop is giving me an an ERROR 6, I tried the Uninstall icon within the folder ADOBE PS CS5.1 and it also gives an ERROR 6. I can't really follow the online solutions that i have found. I am on an imac 2012 and have just upgraded to Yosemite (but was getting ERROR 6 with OS10.8.5). There is 600GB storage available and 4GB memory unused. I just downloaded and installed Java for OS X 2014-001. 
    I don't understand the CC Cleaner Tool (or much else about how to fix things) and am seeking advice so I don't stuff up my mac.
    I have copied over from my laptop only Photoshop..and plan to uninstall PS and install the whole CS.
    In addition... I bought this CS5 disc in store, and whilst i have the serial number, I don't have a cd slot in the imac. I read that I can download trial version and add this serial number. Is that how it works? thank you.

  • Can't uninstall Photoshop CS5.1 Extended

    Hi,
    All of a sudden Photoshop stopped working out of the blue. It was working one minute, then an hour later I went to use it again and it wouldn't work - I hadn't installed/uninstalled any software/drivers in that time, nor had I made any changes to any system settings. When I click on the shortcut to run Photoshop, literally nothing happens. I thought maybe doing a fresh install would help, so I tried to uninstall it, but clicking on it in Add or Remove Programs does literally nothing either. There are no error messages, nor does anything appear on screen - literally nothing happens when I either try to run the program or uninstall it.
    I downloaded the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and tried that, and while it runs fine, running it has no effect at all on my Photoshop installation and all of the files, folders and registry entries are still there.
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. How can I get Photoshop completely off my system without formatting my drive and doing a fresh install? Thanks.

    I downloaded the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and tried that, and while it runs fine, running it has no effect at all on my Photoshop installation and all of the files, folders and registry entries are still there.
    That is exactly how it is supposed to work. It merely frees up the Adobe installer database and oes not actualyl delete anything. Have you tried a reinstall after running the tool?

  • Unable to Install Photoshop CS5 on Windows 8

    I'm unable to install Photoshop CS5 on Windows 8.  A copy of the installation log is listed below.  The first time I tried installing, I had Norton 360 enabled, right-clicked the DVD-ROM drive and selected to execute the installer.  It failed at about 5%.  Then, I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled Adobe AIR, disabled Norton 360, ran the Creative Suite Cleanup Tool, and then rebooted back into Safe Mode.  This time, I browsed the DVD-ROM drive, right-clicked on the set-up.exe file and selected Run As Administrator.  Same thing as before.  It failed at 5%.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • Help! Can't use Text tool in Photoshop CS5

    When I launched Photoshop this morning and opened a file containing text and an image, I got the following error message:
    "The type layers in this document were rasterized because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
    When I created a new, empty Photoshop document and selected the Text tool, I got this error message:
    "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    The Photoshop text tool is useless at the moment. I tried relaunching Photoshop and restarting my computer to no avail.
    Nothing has changed in my Photoshop installation except that I recently installed FontExplorer X Pro on this computer and activated the Photoshop CS5 plugin that comes with the program. I have now uninstalled the plugin, but the Photoshop text tool still doesn't work.
    Suggestions greatly appreciated. I need access to a fully-functional Photoshop ASAP. Thanks!

    Since you're having the same problem with a different font manager installed, it looks like the problem may lie with Photoshop rather than the font management software. I'm going to file a bug report with Adobe.
    Meanwhile, you might want to uninstall Photoshop CS5 (Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium) and reinstall it from the original disc. You do not need to deactivate anything before doing this.

  • Windows cannot find Photoshop CS5 Error in Bridge

    This is really about Photoshop CS6 Beta but this error is generated whenever I tried to open a file from Bridge, either Bridge [12.1 or 13.0].  It was frustrating at first.
    I tried to figure out why I was receiving this message.  Originally, I had Photoshop CS5 on my system.  Then, I upgraded to Photoshop CS5 Extended.  Finally, I installed Photoshop CS6 Beta.  After the last install, I decided to uninstall Photoshop CS5 which I no longer used.  These are 64-bit programs but I doubt that makes a difference.  Whenever I opened Bridge for Photoshop CS5 Extended or Photoshop CS6 Beta, the shown error would generate.  After reviewing the error closely, I decided to try and look at file associations but not in Windows as I had no problems elsewhere.  It must be in Bridge.
    I went to Edit -> Preferences and found a File Type Associations section with every file type it uses.  Sure enough, by clicking on the triangle to the right of the file type, it showed only Photoshop.  By clicking on Browse and going to the Photoshop CS6 Beta folder, I was able to change a couple of the ones I use exclusively and clicked OK.  Afterwards, no problems.  To change each and every one of those is going to require some time on my part.
    This brings up an important question regarding upgrades.  I think most of us upgrade before uninstalling the old version.  Here are my questions:
    1. Why did not the Bridge associated with the extended version change the file associations to the appropriate version of CS5 when it was installed?
    2. Why did not the Bridge associated with Photoshop CS6 Beta change the file associations to this version when installed?
    At the very least, it should be an option but I think it should actually point to the new version.  Is this a bug in the Bridge software?  I know Bridge is used for other Adobe applications but this definitely seems to be a bug when the only application iis Photoshop.  I have Lightroom 4 also installed but this application does not use Bridge.  Can this be corrected?

    Looks like bridge is still trying to run the old version.  Did you uninstall Photoshop CC after installing Photoshop CC 2014?
    Have you made sure and fully closed Bridge and reopened it?  Logging off and back on would ensure that.
    Failing the above, people have reported success with using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool followed by a reinstall of Photoshop CC 2014...
