Using CC cleaner tool

Can anyone who has used the CC cleaner tool recently tell me what the User Interface looks like?
I saw a screen grab from a 2012 post showing it in action... it appeared to have a Graphica User Interface. But when I run the lastest version just now it appears to be a dos box where I type in reponse to prompts.

Yes, it has a GUI.
Thanks for the helpful input.
I downloaded from there before posting... that is the one I'm talking about. That was a few hrs ago.
So, to be sure I went to the link you provided and downloaded it again, unzipped and ran it.
Its the same... Completely usable, but it is NOT a graphical interface.
It's a dos box that you type into as prompts show up. The screen grab is after I've already typed answers to a few prompts... What you see is answer to last prompt I typed in '3' which is listing the remaining CS6 and including CC stuff.

The cleaner tool doesn't touch presets, templates or other user data. All it does is flush the installer database to remove blockages. The last time it actualyl deleted any files and folders was with CS3. so whatever you did, you may have hit the wrong button. And while I underrstand your frustration, the download pages states that you are advised to backup your data, regardless...

How to only wipe CC products when using CC Cleaner Tool?

I am on windows, and the only option is CC AND CS6. This is a school computer, so I only want to clean my CC applications, and not the previously installed CS6 applications.

Jstone.jack please use the standard uninstaller located in the Programs and Features control panel. You can find more details at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

Hi Frode,
Welcome to the forums!
Please check Applications>> Utilities>> Adobe Installers and see if the CC apps uninstaller is listed there.
If yes, please run the uninstaller to uninstall the apps and reinstall them from Adobe CC.

Am I using Cleaner Tool right?

I am trying to use the cleaner tool to clean up install and reinstall of InDesign CS4. I uninstalled the CS4 suite entirely as Adobe Support instructed me to do, without deactivating the license because I'm reinstalling this on the same computer, not a different one. Then I downloaded the Cloud Cleaner Tool for Mac, selected English, accepted the agreement. I double clicked the cleaner tool and the screen comes up and asks me which product I want to clean. I click CS4. Click . . . then this box comes up and is says, "the following installations were found on your system." The box is blank so nothing was found. I would imagine since I just uninstalled everything that would be logical. At the bottom of the screen it says, "There is no session to delete." And two of the three boxes are grayed out: "Clean all CS3/CS4" and "Cleanup Selected" so I can't click on either of them. The only box that isn't grayed out is "Quit."
So I wait and wait and nothing happens. I don't think this thing is cleaning up anything, cuz I must have done something wrong. No message comes up to indicate "the cloud cleaner tool completed successfully" as the instructions say it will. I've redone this 3 times with all the same results. Nothing happens. Can someone help? I've been on the phone and with Adobe Support since Monday and I'm no closer to getting my CS4 InDesign back to normal on my Mac than before. HELP! THANKS SO MUCH!

I've been fortunate enough not to have to run the tool myself, but I believe if you get those results you are done and can move on to reinstall.

Winndows closed CS4. I've used clean tool and then re-installed. still same error mesage on loading cs4

I get a message saying a problem has caused CS4 to stop working properly and that windows will close the program to try to find a solution. It doesn't close CS4, I have to myself so I used the clean tool to uninstall CS4 ( I couldn't uninstall it via the control panel, programs section - nothing happened). I then re-installed CS4 and get the same error message. I've had CS4 since about 2008 and also have Nik Google products as plug in 's running from it and Lightroom 5. How can I get CS4 to work again?

Creative Cloud unable to install and Cleaner Tool crashes

Hi.
I really need help. I am working on three different projects i Adobe Premiere CC and I am also using AE and Audition. A few days ago they all stopped working when I started my computer. When I tried to start Creative Cloud it was just a blank window that showed up, In other words it didn't load anything. And when I tried to open Premiere or the other two applications that I had installed nothing happened. I went to the folder the programs should be installed in and pressed the icon there and a small window with a warning text showed up. It said something like: This application is either gone or moved so that it can't be found. So I tried uninstalling all CC programs, used the Cleaner Tool, rebooted the computer and installed everything again, but as soon as I rebooted the computer again it was all the same as before. After doing this a couple of times and searching around the internet without finding anything that helped I decided to format my computer and do a clean install of windows. I am using windows 7 by the way. Now I tried to download Creative Cloud and installing it again but all of a sudden that won't work at all. This window pops up instead:
I apologize that it's in swedish. But the translation would be something like:
The following issue has occurred:
Something went wrong during the installation (error: A12E1).
Go to our customer support site if you want troubleshooting tips.
Now I did that and couldn't find anything useful. So I thought; maybe it will help to reboot the computer, but it did not. Then I figured that Adobes Cleaner Tool surely would help... It wont even start. It crashes as soon as I click it.
I am not a computer genius but I am skilled enough to usually being able to figure out what's wrong and fix it.
Everything worked fine before. I'm not paying money for Creative Cloud if all these problems keep happening!
Help! I do not know what to do anymore!
Sincerely
Ante

The crashes probably mean that a specifc DLL is missing. Install the MSVC 8,9 and 10 runtimes from Microsoft manually.

Cannot uninstall CS5 completely even with CS Cleaner tool

Well... it's been over a week now and still not happy.
Had some Indesign (CS5.5) issues (would not open program, would not open files) so I tried to completely uninstall and reinstall the software, numerous times with multiple instances of "these programs did not install successfully and may not function properly".
After prompt advice from the forum, It was suggested I download the Cleaner tool and create a new user profile. I have done just that and used the Cleaner tool again just to make sure and came up with multiple errors.
(The log file is below.)
Should I continue trying to install again now or should I wait and try to clear up the reasons why this failed first?
Outside of completely wiping the partition and starting from scratch (a company computer), I have no other idea of what I can do to ensure this works as it should.
I've been "down" for a week and have work piling up. Thanks!

CC Cleaner tool to remove remains of CS5 only.

I have CS6 and CC on my Win 7 pro machine. I have uninstalled CS5.1 . Iam trying to use CC Cleaner tool to remove the remains of CS5.1 and need to be certain that it will not remove the other versions.
When I get to the screen giving a list of options to clean up, CS5-5.5 is listed as number 6. So I typed in 6, and pressed Enter. Then the next screen says 'List of products installed on this machine' and there is only one 1. Clean All. I am concerned that this might remove my other versions as well as CS5. Advise please, thanks.

Hello,
sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!) http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations. Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
So far, so good –I also often gave this advice. This approach only allows to look at the symptoms of this malfunction. Therefore I started a thread “What's up with "Downloading, Installing, Setting Up"?” I asked for a improvement of the product, so it is not necessary to use Cleaner Tool. Preran a member of Adobe’s staff promised "many improvements". Here is the link: https://forums.adobe.com/message/6408998
In order to accelerate the process I therefore call upon you to support my efforts. Most successful could be to click a „like“ in Prerans answer (see consecutive number 11)
Thanks,
Hans-Günter

What are the best optimization & cleaning tools for Mac OS X?

I found a great app called MacKeeper, but it cost $500!?! I have OnyX, but it not so good because it just clean your mac and has given my mac some problems.
I really want to fix and clean my mac and give it top performance, because my windows 7 is now faster than my mac in boot camp, and my mac boot up speed is so slow, it actually slower than my 7 years old windows xp laptop!

It takes 3 minutes to get into the log-in screen. My apps bounces for 20 secs.
Then you need to begin reading the [Mac OS X speed FAQ|http://www.index-site.com/Macosxspeed.html] that you were referred to. It does sound like you're having a performance problem, but using a "cleaning tool" to do things like clear caches, run the periodic scripts, etc without a specific reason for doing so is not the right solution. You could just as easily break things worse without solving any problems. It's like firing multiple shotgun blasts into your walls, while blindfolded, to try to solve a mouse problem.
When I scanned my computer with AppKeeper, it said 1700 useless junk files and 12 performance problems.
Without knowing what those are, we have no idea how legitimate those claims may be. Some AV software will label "tracking cookies" as a danger when they are not. As sad as it is, some software companies will play up "problems" in order to sell software to solve those "problems."

Adobe Cleaner Tool

Hi!
I am wanting to install CS5 on my laptop. I have uninstalled CS3 Design Premium and was wondering if I needed to use the cleaner tool before trying to install CS5. It keeps saying on the cleaner tool page that the Windows version is being uploaded but a link to download it never appears.
Will CS5 work without using the cleaner tool??
I need help with this as soon as possible. My desktop is experiencing a hard drive failure so I'm in dire need of getting this placed on my laptop.
Thank you!!

Thank you so much for your fast response Noel!
I will try right now to install and activate CS5 Master Collection on my laptop.
In reply to your other post about the Western Digital. I have one already. It's a great help for keeping files backed up.
It's funny, I had JUST formatted my hard drive and haven't reinstalled anything but my Adobe and MS Office software and a few other smaller applications when I got a warning about the hard drive failure. Something actually goes my way for once. Bit of an inconvience, but it's still under warranty so HP will come out and replace free of charge *does the happy dance* and I can just start fresh again.
All along I thought I had a fan going bad ... grrrrr
