The Designer sometimes use my pc...

Not letting me to uninstall the same. Something Fishy. What to do?

Have you tried Control Panel to carry out the Uninstall?

It appears this might be in the wrong forum. As far as uninstalling, sometimes the installer/uninstaller gets into weird state and the machine has to be rebooted first before it will operate normally. Have you tried to reboot your machine first?

As far as the "somethings fishy" part, what is fishy about it? If you didn't install it clearly the other person you let use your computer installed it, so confront them about it.

Have you ever heard about an acrobat DC holding around 100 GB of Space?

Have you ever heard about an acrobat DC holding around 100 GB of Space?

I don't know what the size of the application is supposed to be. Is it the full version of Acrobat? There is a huge difference between Acrobat Reader and the full version.

Edit: Wait, I see what your talking about now. You're right, 94GB is well outside the realm of normal. Looks like you better talk to your designer to find out what the heck they did.

As to not allowing an UNINSTALL... I would wonder if you have been hacked. Do you have a really good anti-virus package? Do a manual scan to see if it has anything to say.

Also, sometimes you have to reboot your system into SAFE mode so that you can navigate to that folder and alter the permissions on the file. One of the tricks that sometimes happens is that the package protects itself so that an ordinary UNINSTALL can't touch some or all of the files. If you go into SAFE mode you can usually reset permissions to FULL CONTROL for that file's folder contents - and the folder itself. THEN try the UNINSTALL. And if your Developer friend ever comes around again, have a long kris blade handy. Ask him how much he likes keeping his fingers.
