Remove all Unwanted Adobe Apps Completely
If you don’t really use a lot of Adobe Apps, consider deleting all other Apps except Adobe Acrobat to free up space on your laptop. Adobe Acrobat is used to open and edit PDF’s and we recommend this remains installed on your laptop. The other apps are to your preference.
