| Jul 11, 2022 at 10:18 | comment | added | NeilG | @kakubei what does "banish forever" mean? Do you mean it will even stop you starting Creative Cloud as an application? Or do you mean it will just prevent autostart forever? I'm happy to eliminate autostart permanently but I may need to run Creative Cloud once in a while to get some documents or resources or something. | |

Also check and clean your home folder ~/Library/LaunchAgents

The above comment does this system wide, which is the answer to the comment above for how to affect the guest account as well. To limit this to the active user, which also replicates the original functionality of this answer use this: launchctl bootout gui/<user’s UID> /Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.AdobeCreativeCloud.plist You can find your userid by running id in terminal.

The 'unload' subcommand in launchctl is now deprecated. Now use is 'bootout': launchctl bootout system /Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.AdobeCreativeCloud.plist

Don't forget to also unload the Adobe Updater, which runs in the background too: launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.AAM.Updater-1.0.plist

Works great. Then just sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.AdobeCreativeCloud.plist to get rid of it entirely.

| Dec 17, 2015 at 7:00 | comment | added | Ben Sinclair | I second @DazChong's request to disable Core Sync | |
| Dec 16, 2015 at 3:23 | comment | added | DazChong | Thanks, really annoyed by these background apps even unchecked the run at login. Still have the Core Sync Helper, anyone know how to remove it as well? | |
| Apr 24, 2015 at 14:48 | comment | added | kakubei | After unloading it you can also delete the .plist and banish Adobe forever! (Or until next update :) | |

| Oct 23, 2014 at 17:43 | comment | added | user1434077 | This worked really well! Just wondering, is there a way to make this apply to the guest user account as well? | |
