Hello all, Is there any switch to run Creative Cloud Uninstaller.exe silently i tried start /w ' 'C: Program Files (x86) Adobe Adobe Creative Cloud Utils Creative Cloud Uninstaller.exe' -uninstall. The Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool designed by Adobe is for helping to fully clear install files generated by Creative Cloud or the Creative Suite application that may have been corrupted or are causing issues with your new Adobe installation.

Back up all files stored in Adobe product directories, including custom plug-ins or profiles you have installed.

Uninstall Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. Follows steps 2 through 5 in the Run the CC Cleaner Tool for Windows section.

Run the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool by following these steps in order:

Click the following link to download the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool for Windows: AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe.
Create a directory/folder named AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool_Win and then copy the downloaded file in it.
Choose Start > Run and type cmd.
In the Command Prompt window, change directories to the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool_Win directory that you created.
Type AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe --createCleanup=[absolute path to the folder in which you want to store the XML file].

Tip:

Make sure that there is one space after .exe. Do not enter any additional spaces in this command.

Choose your language: Press E for English or J for Japanese.
Review the Adobe End-User License Agreement: Press Y to accept or N to decline (if you decline, the script quits).

The XML file that the tool creates contains a list of products installed on the computer. By default, all product entries are commented in the XML file. For example:

Tip:

The XML file lists all CS5 to CS5.5 products in a </CS5> tag.

Uncomment entries for the apps on which you want to run the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool. For example, if you want to clean up Adobe SpeedGrade CC and Adobe Contribute CS5.5, edit the XML file as follows:

In elevated mode, run the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool with the following argument:AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe --cleanupXML=[Absolute path to cleanup xml].

Verify that the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool completed successfully. Follow steps 11 and 12 in the Run the CC Cleaner Tool for Windows section.

Windows¶

Note

The AcroCleaner is not an uninstaller and should NOT be used as such. Adobe provides the utility as a least resort to repair machines after a failed or partial uninstall. Always uninstall DC products via standard, supported methods.

The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool removes a standalone installation of Reader or Acrobat, including any leftover preferences and settings remaining after a standard program uninstall.

While most installs, uninstalls, and updates operations happen without incident, there are cases where a user may not be able to complete such tasks due to some registry or file conflict on the machine. This is particularly problematic when permissions set on plist entries or files prevent the successful installation of new installs and/or updates. The cleaner tool fixes such issues by cleaning up corrupted installations, removing or fixing corrupted files, removing or changing permissions registry entries, etc.

Note the following:

The tool provides options for removing problematic Acrobat items only while leaving Reader untouched and vice versa.
The tool cannot be used with any Creative Cloud products or Acrobat delivered with CS products. It can only be used for standalone versions of Acrobat and Reader.
In some scenarios, the cleaner tool for Windows might affect some preferences common between Acrobat and Reader. Therefore, when both Acrobat and Reader products are installed on machine, Adobe recommends the remaining installed product be repaired after running the cleaner Tool.
