  3. Select Uninstall in the context menu.

    The context menu for a Creative Cloud app including options to open in browser and uninstall.
    The confirmation dialog box opens.

  4. Select Cancel, Remove or Keep, based on your preference.

    • Cancel: Cancels the uninstallation
    • Remove: Removes the app notifications, alerts, interface settings, plugins, and other preferences
    • Keep: Retains the app notifications, alerts, interface settings, plugins, and other preferences
    The preferences dialog box asking if you want to keep or remove notifications, alerts, plugins, and other preferences. You can also cancel the uninstallation process.
