Deleting Adobe Premiere Pro involves uninstalling it from your computer. Here's how to do it:
Method 1: Using the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App
This is the recommended method as it ensures all associated files and components are removed.
-
Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App: You can find it in your system tray (usually near the clock) or in your applications folder.
-
Go to the "Apps" section: In the Creative Cloud app, navigate to the "Apps" tab.
-
Find Premiere Pro: Locate Adobe Premiere Pro in the list of installed applications.
-
Click the three dots (...) icon: Next to Premiere Pro, you should see a three-dot menu. Click on it.
-
Select "Uninstall": Choose the "Uninstall" option from the menu.
-
Follow the on-screen instructions: The uninstaller will guide you through the process. You may be asked if you want to keep your preferences. If you want a completely clean uninstall, choose to remove them.
Method 2: Using Apps and Features/Programs and Features (Windows)
This method works, but might not remove all associated files.
-
Open Apps and Features/Programs and Features:
- Windows 10/11: Right-click the Windows Start button and select "Apps and Features" or "Installed apps".
- Older Windows Versions: Open the Control Panel, then go to "Programs" and select "Programs and Features".
-
Find Adobe Premiere Pro: Scroll through the list of installed programs to find "Adobe Premiere Pro" (it may also include the year, e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro 2020, Adobe Premiere Pro 2023).
-
Click on Adobe Premiere Pro: Select the entry for Premiere Pro.
-
Click "Uninstall": An "Uninstall" button should appear. Click it.
-
Follow the on-screen instructions: The uninstaller will guide you through the process. You may be asked if you want to keep your preferences. If you want a completely clean uninstall, choose to remove them.
Important Considerations:
- Close Premiere Pro: Ensure Premiere Pro and any related Adobe processes are closed before starting the uninstallation.
- Administrator Privileges: You may need administrator privileges to uninstall the software.
- Restart Your Computer: After the uninstallation is complete, it's a good idea to restart your computer to ensure all files are properly removed.
