Which "Adobe" is that? Most Adobe products come with an Uninstaller program - do you mean you're trying to use that but it's not working? If so what exactly is happening? Any error message?

Note that Adobe has a rather comprehensive knowledge base online, that covers many issues e.g., troubleshooting Adobe CS 4 uninstallation for instance. More support info here... and some good info there.

Otherwise you could probably uninstall it like any other Mac application i.e., just drag the app or folder to the Trash and empty it. Note that to be thorough you might also want to trash supporting files, normally located in the Application Support folder inside the main Library folder. There is a big Adobe folder in there

Likewise it might be a good idea to delete your Adobe related preference files...

You can also use programs like AppTrap or AppCleaner.

Oh yeah, I forgot, thanks.

And AppDelete, AppZapper, CleanApp, and Uninstaller (all shareware).

AppCleaner and AppTrap are free.

Now which is better...

Let me google that for you

Until I clicked on the link, I thought you wanted to Google michl's Q.
I have found that they pretty much do the same stuff.
So the price of the shareware isn't really worth it.

AppTrap has a unique feature, which make it the one I use, in that it will monitor your trash.
The moment you drop an app in the trash, it will pop up and ask if you want to erase the rest of the files (if there is any, if there isn't it says nothing).
