Safe to uninstall Lightroom v5.7?
I have a subscription to creative cloud and it allows to manage all of my Adobe products (install /updates). One of the apps I have installed, but rarely use still is Photoshop Lightroom 5.7. I recently installed an upgrade of a cloud in Photoshop Lightroom CC notice (2015).
However, I noticed that the Lightroom 5.7 upgrade process has left installed but is no longer the poster as installed from the Cloud Creative (Manager) Control Panel.
I don't know much about Lightroom yet, as I am just learning and I just searched a bit and pulled on a few libraries of photos. My question is, since I have no program installation/configuration much invested in version 5.7, is it possible to uninstall via Windows Control Panel since I now have the CC version installed?
I really don't know why Adobe has left version 5.7 when I consider the CC version upgrade. Where can I find that I wished I kept both installed? Thanks in advance.
Well Yes. Your data are left in place even if you remove 5.7.
The old version is removed only for minor upgrades (i.e. 5,6-> 5.7). The full versions are left in place.
I suspect, LR CC 2015 imported and updated your LR 5 catalog. If so, you might even consider to back up and remove the LR5 catalog if you care about disk space. You can always delete the folder preview anyway.

Mac OSX 10.11 - prior to joining photography CC, I had already installed the light Room 6. Now that I joined CC I've noticed that I always seem to have my original LR6 installed. Is is safe to uninstall the CC version not?
Don't know what happened... but... this AM to day LR CC to 2015.2.1 and now I have a folder named "Adobe Lightroom". In this folder is an application named 'Adobe Lightroom' which shows Date of change as 26,2015 Apr, 11:41.
When I run this application I get info &... "Photoshop Light Room CC Release 2015.2.1. Don't see no other record any other folder with "Lightroom in the name of". What I find interesting is that the PS folder is named "Adobe Photoshop CC 2015".
So basically the things work OK but the naming convention seems a little different. I'm coming back on "if it is not broken... don't fix.
Thank you

N ° you will leave your system vulnerable. However, you can (Windows XP) rank after Windows updates.
See: http://taurarian.mvps.org/WU_XP/removing_old_windows_updates.htm
Remove the old Windows updatesFolders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.
These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:

I recommend that you do not uninstall the old Microsoft Visual C++ updates since all updates are essential to make Windows work properly.
However, you can also ask your question in the Microsoft Visual C++ support and related information get from technical support technicians.

This questionHello
You can uninstall applications you don't need. But some pre-installed applications may have to be run on the computer, so that it works the way the computer manufacturer wanted it.It is best to contact Acer and check if it is safe to uninstall the applications mentioned.

How do I uninstall Lightroom 6 on my MAC so I can reinstall and start over?
I installed Lightroom 6.
I've migrated my iPhoto on Lightroom library.
But somehow I have duplicates of all my photos in Lightroom 6.
And I can't seem to raise other images of other folders in my computer to download them in Lightroom.
I want to just uninstall Lightroom completely and reinstall from scratch.
It is too inconsistent to the top of the way it is and I want to just start over.
I have an iMac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 running
Can you tell me how to uninstall it?
I'll look at the online help to get it reinstalled.
Thank you
Uninstall / reinstall won't change anything.
All the work you do in LR is registered in the catalogue (which is not affected by the uninstall), so you must create a new catalog if you want to start. (File > new)
To get photos from folders on your computer in LR, you must import the - LR is not like a file browser that you can point to a folder and see the contents.
Regarding duplicates in iPhoto. I'm not a Mac user, so I can't help you with that.

Can I uninstall Lightroom 4 to free up space? [was: Photoshop/Lightroom]
I'm trying to free up space in my computer. I am currently using lightroom 5.7 but kept lightroom 4.6 on my computer. Can I uninstall lightroom 4.6 for free space. All the information recorded when I upgraded?
You can certainly uninstall older versions of Lightroom, but it won't release a huge amount of space, most likely your photos take much more space than the Lightroom program resumes. If you want to move the photos to another hard drive, let us know, we can provide instructions.
All the information recorded when I upgraded?
If you chose to update previous versions of Lightroom Catalog, it is then distributed to 5.7 LR. If you don't install the catalog Lightroom 5.7, so some of the information is still in the previous catalog file, and you need to upgrade to LR 5.7

How to uninstall Lightroom on one computer and reinstall on another
What is the proper way to uninstall Lightroom and parts of a computer, so it can be reinstalled on a new computer. I am referring to the license.
You need to disconnect the software first. Under the Help menu, select disconnect
Then uninstall it using the normal method for your operating system.
Then install the software on the new computer and sign in (if you need to download the software for the new computer, go to keep updating Lightroom, download the application install, install, then download the 2015.5 update and install it)

When I try to upgrade Lightroom 6.3 (perpetual license) to Lightroom 6.4 (perpetual license), I can't compete the upgrade process and receive a notice of error Code U44M1P7. It is my understanding that I have to uninstall Lightroom 6.3 and then download Lightroom 6.4. Am I wrong? If I'm not mistaken, what is the address of the Adobe site to download Lightroom 6.4? Thank you for your help.
You can use the link below. If you uninstall you will need to download LR6; then download the 6.4 update. Re-install is often recommend if there is update problems. Otherwise, you can try the update from another account of users with administrator privileges and then switch back to your normal user account.
