With how much Adobe infects a system, leaving multiple different traces behind even when uninstalled, I think it's fair to say that Photoshop itself is almost a virus

Genuinely, how can you get rid of all that? How do you even find everything?

Creative cloud is malware in my opinion

The Win10 iso that I definitely ~~legitimately purchased~~ has a ppApps folder that has Photoshop in it; I've always just assumed I would be able to delete it from there.

If you don't have it portable-ized, though, Revo Uninstaller might help. (though I never used it for long enough for the trial to run out, so I don't know how much it costs)

Revo Uninstaller has a free version.

Never paid for it, yet have been using it for decades.
