[X4U] Adobe Apps crashing..

[Brett Conlon]

Welcome Edward,

>From my observation the contents of the ~/Library/Application 
Support/Adobe folder can be deleted without the apps falling over - it 
should simply rebuild them. Now, the Adobe folder in the root level 
Library/App Supp folder is a different matter.

In addition to the Preferences folder, applications store data in the 
"Application Support" folder both are inside your Library folder. 
There should be an Adobe folder inside of there.

I would rename the Adobe folder to something like ~Adobe and then 
launch one of the applications that are crashing.  If it launches 
without incident, trash the renamed folder, otherwise change the name 
back to Adobe.  There is information in that folder you probably don't 
want to delete unless absolutely necessary.
