Re: Adobe Reader Entfernen Mac
Keena Wiegert
There were 1,668 folders whose path began with "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ARM\Reader_10.0.1\" each of which contain the files AcrobatUpdater.exe, AdobeARM.exe, AdobeExtractFiles.dll, and ReaderUpdater.exe. Each of these folders are around 1,805,080 bytes.
So I did uninstall all adobe reader, adobe arm, adobe flash, and adobe shockwave programs. Rebooted the computer. Deleted those folders (all of which were still there). And then reinstalled Flash and Shockwave. They have Adobe Acrobat so Reader is not necessary.
The only other thing that I would ask you at this point - can you pelase collect AdobeARM.log file from the User Temp folder? (each User likely has it's own Temp folder with its own AdobeARM.log file)
It's almost seven years since this question was posted, but Adobe is still trying to protect us against the evil of having extra free space on our hard drives. Here's a screenshot of my ARM window just now, showing more than 400 mb of space being used by various incarnations of Reader going all the way back to 2014.
I just checked and my machine also has 2.0G of historical ARM folders. It's good to know that we are being protected from having unused diskspace for free in this fashion. :). My operating systm on this legacy system is Windows 2012 Server.
There have been a lot of updates since 2013. The last few posts have shown what is supposed to happen, with one download per update. I don't know about Reader, but the updates for Acrobat Pro DC total 26 GB. This is different from the original post, where something had gone haywire, and made thousands of folders for the same update.
So no option to disable new icon on every update. After 10 mins of going through settings to disable auto updates - suprise no option to disable updates. Only logical solution is to uninstall and abandon.
Like the others I've created an account just to vote on this annoying issue. BTW for people reading this, don't use your real email address if you're creating an account to vote, use something like temp-mail so you don't give adobe your personal details.
This is really doing my head in... I know in the grand scheme of things it's minor but, Adobe, really - why? It benefits you not one iota; anyone who wants the shortcut already has it, what do you get out of this apart from users who see this like an itch that we can't scratch? It's irritating, please, sort it out, it's not hard. At all.
Fully agree that the reappearing shortcut is an annoyance. I've never seen anyone launch Acrobat Reader from shortcut, because workflow is almost always to open a file from Explorer or a mail attachment.
It's particularly annoying on smaller screens - if every app did it, some desktop screens would become unusable.
what's the point of having a Adobe UserVoice if Adobe doesn't listen to user's voice? REMOVE THE ANNOYING ADDING OF ACROBAT DESKTOP ICON WITHOUT USER'S CONSENT AND NO IT'S NO A WINDOWS SETTING FIRE THAT ADOBE EMPLOYEE WHO SAID THAT
I have not found how to disable desktop icon creation after each Acrobat reader update. I have been using so many programs because of my work, but Acrobat reader is the only one that does this. This is unacceptable, I would consider it to be a bug. Why would I even need a desktop icon for a program that opens automatically when I open pdf files?
