Open the Applications folder and locate your software. Software is updated each August in preparation for the upcoming year and we will run these versions through the following August regardless of updates that are released throughout the year. In the confirmation dialog that appears, you can choose to remove the application preferences as long as the latest version has been configured completely.Īt this point the Creative Cloud application will begin uninstalling the selected older version of the application, freeing up hard drive space in the process.Per Emerson's policy, we cannot update software in the middle of the Academic year.
From the popup that appears choose “Manage” followed by “Uninstall”.
To remove the older version, first click on the popup arrow to the right of the “Open” or “Update” button for the application version you want to uninstall. To the left of the application name you will see a triangle icon, which you can click to expand (or collapse) the list of different versions of the application that are currently installed.įor example, you might have a version 20 of Photoshop (the CC 2019 version) as well as a version 19 (the CC 2018 version). On the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud application you can first locate the application that has more than one version installed. I recommend uninstalling using the Creative Cloud application. Once the latest version of a Creative Cloud application is working correctly and configured to your preferences (including the installation of plug-ins if applicable), you can most certainly remove the older version of the application to free up space on your hard drive. For minor updates the existing installation is simply updated, without creating an additional copy of the software. More Detail: When Adobe releases a major update to one of their Creative Cloud applications, it will install an additional copy of the software alongside the previous version.
Tim’s Quick Answer: As long as the latest version of the application is working properly, including any plug-ins and configuration settings, it is perfectly safe to uninstall the older version of the application. Is it perfectly safe to uninstall those older versions? Looking at my program list I still have Bridge and Photoshop 2018 installed. I have the latest 2019 versions of Adobe Photoshop and Bridge. Today’s Question: My hard drive is filling up with programs and I really need some space.
