Safely uninstall Adobe Bridge CS5/CS6? If so, how

adobe-bridge

It's packaged into every Adobe CS install I've ever done, and I never use it (directly?) so it's a waste of space for me. Can I kill it? (Will it cause any harm?) What's the best way to trash it?

Best Answer

Just head to the application and drag the application icon to the trash.

That will uninstall it, there is no harm to the rest of Creative Suite. (I have done this with every install of CS)

I think you would have to go via Photoshop using BridgeTalk to get the path.

function getPathFromBridge(){
    function script(){
        var Path = new File(encodeURI(app.document.selections[0].spec.parent)); 
        return Path.toSource();
    }
    var filePath='';
    var bt = new BridgeTalk();
    bt.target = "bridge";
    bt.body ="var ftn = " + script.toSource() + "; ftn();";
    bt.onResult = function( inBT ) { filePath = decodeURI(eval( inBT.body));}
    bt.onError = function( inBT ) { filePath = '';}
    bt.send(4);
    if ( undefined == filePath ) filePath = '';
    return decodeURI(filePath); 
}
