I was just having a terrible experience trying to uninstall the "Adobe Creative Cloud". I have used it and paid for it. It's full of anti-patterns to make it difficult to uninstall, and now that I don't pay for it any more it just exists on my computer to nag me to renew my subscriptions.

They have good products and I gladly pay for software I use. But the whole cloud service experience has not been good for me. Cory Doctorow coined a word for this that I am too polite to use.



Reinstall OS.
