When you update to the version 5.4.1.534 of the Creative Cloud desktop app, a folder named Library gets created. You also see a red badge on the folder icon, indicating that you cannot access it without your admin password.

I don't want to update so soon
If you want to wait for another major release to update your app, you can simply delete the folder (you'll be prompted for your admin password). Once deleted, the folder reappears, but the red badge is no longer there.
Note:If prompted to allow the installer to access files in your Documents folder, select OK.
