There are a number of Adobe programs that you can put on your
computer and each will have its own Adobe uninstall option. It is important to
follow the uninstall instructions for each program that you have because it is
unlikely that you will be given the option to uninstall everything together.
Use the Installation Disk
The first option that you have is to look into the disk that you
have for the installation process. You will usually find that there is an
uninstall option on this. In fact, depending on the type of program that you
have, you may find that you can take a number of programs off together. This is
usually the case if you added a number of them onto the computer at the same
time, especially if you have one of the creative suites.
You should go through the uninstall process and follow any of the
instructions that are on the screen. This is where you will be given the option
to remove numerous programs or just take off the one program that you no longer
need. You may be asked to restart your computer afterwards to complete the
whole process.
Use the Uninstaller
The second option is to go into the Start Menu and find the Adobe
folder, if there is one. Not all adobe programs will have a folder and you will
usually find that the programs are separate at the top of your menu. If there
is a program folder, you will find the uninstall option. This is very similar
to the disk, where you will usually be able to take off all the programs at the
same time if you want.
Follow all of the instructions that appear on the screen and make
sure you read each step. The last thing you want to do is delete something that
you need for another Adobe program. There are high chances that you will be
asked to restart your computer to finish the uninstall process.
Go Into the Control Panel
Your final option, and the most common one when it comes to Adobe
programs is to remove the programs from the Add and Remove Programs option.
This will list all of your programs separately and you will need to remove them
all one at a time. This can be extremely time consuming but great if you do
genuinely want to get rid of one or two.
When you do go through the Adobe uninstall process, you will need to
think about the gaps that you will have caused and the files that will be
connected to the programs. Take the time to remove the files and then run the
disk defragmenter to fix the gaps.
Take the time to make sure that all files and folders are removed,
whichever method you use to uninstall Adobe. This will help to make sure the computer
continues to run quickly and there are no gaps for viruses to get in.
