It most likely came when I reinstalled Creative Cloud since its creation date is today. UPDATE 2: I did find the Adobe Installer EXE in a different folder. It's not like the programs are not there. Which is strange, all their respective files, are there on the folders and go up to 2GBs in size. But now I actually tried to login to see what I could find and it gave me the same error when trying to uninstall them "Specified product is not installed." etc. UPDATE: While Photoshop and Illustrator run after all, when I tried to run them before they sent me to a login screen and since I didn't had my credentials I just closed the program. Please quit the installer and start over" referring to Adobe Installer (I'm guessing, because Photoshop and Illustrator are very much in the PC, I can start up both programs in fact). I think that worked out? On the other hand, Photoshop and Illustrator give the same error and can't be removed, said error states "Specified product is not installed on this machine. I also can't find files of it in the discs so. Genuine Software gave an error that said that the program was already uninstalled and whether I wanted to remove it from the program list, I did so and it's gone from Uninstall Program as well. Now, I did try something different and went to Control Panel and the option to unistall programs found there. None of the software stuck on my PC had an option to be removed in Creative Cloud (it even treated Photoshop and Illustrator as if they weren't installed yet) and trying to remove them from Uninstall Program gave the same erros. Okay, actually digged everywhere and found the old Adobe Credentials and downloaded Creative Cloud again, but that had no effect. Sorry for the mundane question, but I'm really not getting anywhere on my own. I've seen some recommended and maybe this is the way to go, but before downloading software that may be harmful to my PC I wanted to ask what do you guys think and if you had any recommendations. The other is to use uninstaller programs. Adobe's solution is to use Uninstall Program (which flat out doesn't work in this case), use the tools mentioned above which only had partial success or redownload Creative Cloud and use that uninstall everything, however, if I even have an account it's lost, and don't want to register on Adobe just to get rid of their stuff I never use (and, quite frankly I don't trust I can uninstall their software this way, pretty sure I'll just be stuck with their things with their uninstallable software). There's also a lot of older Adobe files lying around occupying space that I could manually delete, but don't know if would accomplish anything. Creative Cloud doesn't reach them, I tried the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool but it failed to remove them (and honestly, don't know if it did anything at all), and when I try to use the Uninstall Program option, they all refuse to be removed because they are missing an uninstall file (Photoshop and Illustrator show an error that says that Uninstall.exe is missing in the proper folder, while Genuine Service says it's missing AdobeCleanUpUtility.exe). While I could use Creative Cloud Uninstaller to remove Creative Cloud and could uninstall Acrobat Reader with the Uninstall Programs option from Windows, the rest just remains there (Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe Genuine Service). However, it's incredibly stubborn to get rid of. Since I don't use Adobe software at all I thought to uninstall it altogether.
