Perils of getting rid of Photoshop

One day, I've been wanting to get rid of unneeded programs. Using the old Control Panel to uninstall stuff, I wanted to get rid of Adobe Creative Cloud and Photoshop, which I had absolutely no use for, and it was taking up gigabytes of space on my laptop. I first tried to uninstall Creative Cloud, which didn't work due to it saying that it's "needed for some programs". I tried to uninstall Photoshop, bringing me to now.

Once I tried to uninstall Photoshop, it annoyingly didn't uninstall it and it instead open Creative Cloud. It forced me to create an account and so I did. Then it asked to update Creative Cloud, which at that time I gave up.

I mean, when proprietary software wants to stay on your system, it'll force you to install more of it to get rid of it.
