Completely Remove Adobe from your Mac in 2 Steps

Step 1

Download and run the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, their multi-app uninstaller and wipe assistant. Adobe does recommend running individual application uninstallers first, your call. Click the Clean All option.

Step 2

Type a one line command in terminal find ~/ -iname "*adobe*" and it's shows up all files which match pattern.

To remove all files

sudo rm -rf /Applications/Adobe* /Applications/Utilities/Adobe* /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.* /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.adobe.* /private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.* ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe* ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.sharedfilelist/com.apple.LSSharedFileList.ApplicationRecentDocuments/com.adobe* ~/Library/Application\ Support/CrashReporter/Adobe* ~/Library/Caches/Adobe ~/Library/Caches/com.Adobe.* ~/Library/Caches/com.adobe.* ~/Library/Cookies/com.adobe.* ~/Library/Logs/Adobe* ~/Library/PhotoshopCrashes ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe* ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.* ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia* ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.adobe.*

If you get no matches found, first open a bash shell by typing bash and then run the rm command.
