==================================================================

Uninstallation problems with Adobe software are not uncommon, especially when dealing with resource-intensive applications like Photoshop CC.

This article will walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to completely remove Adobe Photoshop 2020 (CC) from both Windows and Mac operating systems.

### Uninstalling Photoshop CC on Windows

#### Method 1: Using Control Panel

1. Press `Win + I` keys simultaneously on your keyboard to open the Settings app.

2. Click on 'Apps' or 'Programs & Features', depending on your version of Windows.

3. Look for Adobe Creative Cloud and click on it once to highlight it, then select Uninstall.

4. In some cases, you might also see another entry called 'Adobe Photoshop CC' under the 'Installed Apps' section; if so, repeat step 2-3 here as well.

#### Method 2: Using Program Files

1. Press `Win + E` keys together to open File Explorer.

2. Navigate through these directories:

* For x64 versions of Windows (or both): C:\ProgramData\Adobe

* For x86 versions only: C:\ProgramData\Adobe

3. Delete all files and subfolders related to Adobe Photoshop CC, including any potential leftovers like 'Adobe CS6' or similar named folders.

4. Once done, restart your computer for changes to take effect.

### Uninstalling Photoshop CC on Mac

#### Method 1: Using Applications Folder

1. Click the Apple logo at top left corner of your screen and select 'About This Mac'.

2. In the window that appears click 'More Info' button.

3. Look under 'Application Support' for Adobe folder; right-click (or control+click) on it then choose Move to Trash.

#### Method 4: Using Terminal

1. Open Terminal app by searching for it in Spotlight or Applications > Utilities section depending upon your Mac OS version you're using currently:

* For older versions like Sierra and earlier use ` cd ~Library/Application Support` instead

2. Type the following command and press Enter key to delete all Adobe related files safely but be very cautious as this method permanently removes everything without asking for confirmation first!

```bash

sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Photoshop.plist \

~/Library/Caches/com.adobe.photoshop* \

~/Library/Application\ SupportAdobe/

```

3. Reboot your Mac after executing these commands.

Troubleshooting Tips:

- Additionally, if issues persist even after trying out both manual removal techniques described above consider using third-party software specifically designed for removing Adobe applications like Revo Uninstaller Pro or CleanMyMac X.
