Why do I always see folders for older versions of Photoshop - but cannot uninstall them?

I run Windows 8.1.

I just installed Photoshop CC 2015.  My hard drive becomes quite comprehensive, I'm looking for sanitation and free up space.  As my Program Files > Adobe folder still shows folders for Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS6, CC of Photoshop and Photoshop CC 2014, I decided to uninstall it.

However, when I go to control panel > programs and features, only Photoshop CC 2015 is listed.  No older versions arise, so I can't uninstall.

In Windows Explorer, the files are listed under Program files > Adobe as follows: -.

Adobe Photoshop CC (64-bit) 999 MB

Adobe Photoshop CC (2014) 2.8 MB

Adobe Photoshop CC (2015) 2.4 GB

Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) 2.8 MB

Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64-bit) 522 MB

As you can see, there are huge differences in file sizes. leading me to assume that some version contains only modest upgrades to previous versions - although CS 5 is very low compared with CS6!

I'm confused!  Is it possible that I can flush out everything except CC (2015), or would be doing this screw a complex relationship between the installation files?

Older versions of Adobe Photoshop very likely have been uninstalled via installer CC 2015. However the modules that you have installed in Adobe Photoshop file having not removed so the Adobe folders and module files remain on your system. Look at the content in the files do you see in them? Just remove the... Adobe UN-installers do not have use in the longest time.  They always seem to cause me pain.

  • OfficeJet 4635 cancel the firmware update because my ink cartridges are for older versions of the product

    I was happy with my officejet 4635 until I clicked on ok to apply for the HP firmware update. He said that it would improve my printer. However, demand has not said that my ink cartridges may not work if I installed the update. I clicked on ok and the update has been successfully installed. Now I can't print anything because I get an error message saying the I have ink cartridges are designed for older versions of the product. I do not use the new HP cartridges because they cost too much. I used cartridges refilled abacus in Az. Phhoenix which worked fine up until I did the update of the firmware of HP. I need to go back to the old system, so I can print again. I am connected to a desktop computer HP envy running windows 8.1. I'm furious HP to try and force you to buy their new cartridges with an update of something. I think that whoever came up with this update should be fired. Any help with a solution would be appreciated.

    I was told that there is no way to undo the update of the firmware. HP did send me a few ink cartridges so I could print again, but I am still ticked about the way this has been ensured by HP. They have not told me that my old version cartridges would not more work after updating firmware. I think that it is simply dishonest on part of HP and I am sure that other customers have been captured by this update of the firmware. I am sure it was a HP effort going to force you to use their new cartridges. I'll be very careful on the acceptance of the updates from HP in the future.

  • How to get help for activation of older versions of Photoshop (CS, CS2, CS3, CS4)?

    We have several older versions of Photoshop licenses that have been installed on the workstations to which we do not have access more, cannot reactivate these versions photshop on other stations to work because it is not possible to obtain the number of activations reset in adobe support.  Now, if we install we get the message: "maximum limit"I tried to support through Chat... but they can't help me because we use version ol that adobe can't stand no more.

  • Layer mask groups converted from work plans to the size of the artboard in older versions of Photoshop

    I wanted to start this post as an idea, but I couldn't choose communities (it wouldn't let me), so here it is posted...

    ----

    Just came across this with a customer...

    I use for a mobile design project work plans, and I just got a screenshot with some texts asking why among work plans were really great. Way bigger than a phone. (I'm under NDA and cannot post the screenshot, but imagine there are a lot of iPhone size work plans and two of them seem to be at a right angle)

    I opened the file and on my end, everything is the right size. Remembering the weeks ago to tell the customer that they need to update their version of Photoshop for all this work correctly, I have take a look at the screenshot and see that they are on CC2014 - none of the work plans.

    What I'm asking here, is that, since we have data, plans of work are objects of a defined size and 'alive', why not just use these data to hide layer groups at the opening of the PSD / PSB (PSB in my case) in older versions of Photoshop?

    It could save you a TON of hassle and confusion.

    Hi Zack,

    High level to your query response is: no, there is no conduct business case for a general solution to what you are suggesting. So I don't see what is happening.

    I say that as someone who likes to give back and forth and backward compatibility.

    There are two parts of the problem that you raise. They are related and somewhat intertwined.

    1. Having the version previous (2014) do something reasonable with the data from the version the most recent (2015). Either the old version should be taught on the most recent data so it can make a decision about what to do, or the newer version must put additional data in the file format for consumption by the older version.
    2. Back and forth between versions. As you say, a much more difficult problem. In fact, we do a good job of that today. But we must be sure that whatever we do for (1) not to damage and back the wrong way.

    Let's be very clear: 2014 will not be touched, except for critical bugs, absolutely. And even before 2015 is released, it would have not been corrected to make it behave better with work plans. There is no way that I could see what is happening. So all we have done for better backward compatibility had to be entirely done within 2015.

    For the round trip, the general problem is something like this: we want to 2014 to read an object that has properties of 2015, he does not understand. While we might learn ch to keep these properties as opaque property, must also have rules for when these properties are not valid and thrown on the floor. Probably, if the object is changed. But not always. And sometimes when another object parent is changed. And so on. Right now, we destroy them unknown content from their reading in the old version. Make us and record what we understand. As a user, you receive an alert telling you that we are do this. It's the safest thing to do.

    There are special cases where a developer can see an opportunity to preserve a level of backward compatibility and back and forth. We try to do if we believe that it is safe. But this scenario happens only occasionally.

    In the case of work plans, made us really think about this: If we added a mask to the group for backward compatibility, it should do something with this mask reading around 2015. And what would happen if the user edited this mask in 2014 and opened upward in 2015 - and who edited mask do not align with the structures of the artboard? Things started to get dark quickly. We started to see traps. The workflow together to sheath special round trip had to be tested and verified. The cost was rising and this expense must be filtered through a cost/value trade-off. And then what happens when we add a new property to the structure of work plan? At these efforts for nothing?

    So we compromised with what you have today. Work plans become groups in 2014. The Group and the layer structure remains intact. Doesn't secretly add us and remove masks for the round trip. You can safely change the groups to your heart's content. When return you this document in 2015, you redo the work plans of the groups. Was not clear and safe way to do more than that given the time that we had.

    Take a step back and think about your problem, it doesn't seem to be a value to a script that converts group work plans + layer masks for your workflow to have your documents that is consumed by the customers of 2014. This would be carried out in 2015 because she would need understand the work plans. And maybe vice versa from 2014 to 2015, assuming that the documents were not published in a hostile way. We're not likely to write such a script as a generic tool, but someone competent with script might be able to do this.

    More that I intend to write, but hopefully, it gives you additional insight in the compromises that we have faced.

  • I currently have an older version of Photoshop - CS, is - it possible to upgrade?

    I currently have an older version of Photoshop - CS, is it possible to upgrade to a newer version? It crashes on my new Mac (Macbook Pro 2 GHz Intel Core i7 running the OS x 10.6.8 version) and I do not use photoshop so much (probably once a month to design gig flyers) so I can't justify spending $1 168 for the current version of CS6. I don't want to try to learn a new product either, I just want to be able to use Photoshop without it crashing. Help, please!

    CS - CS6, there no possible upgrade options. The latest version that allows Adobe you are upgrading is CS3 (which also, until December 2012). Adobe supports generally running less 2 versions of upgrade support.

    In your case, you should buy a full version - yes I know it's expensive and it says you need only once a month, I don't know what advice here.

    Regarding CS runs not on 10.6.8 you get a specific error codes / numbers / crash reports? If so, can you please post here so we can see what can go wrong?

    Although I doubt that CS works on OS 10.4 or 10.5 + (I've never used), I can't say that it will never work more. The only way to know is to see a crash report to see what goes wrong.
