There’s a folder in Applications called ".AdobePatchFiles"…it’s 2.3 GB…think it’s safe to delete?

1.1 GB on my laptop, where I didn’t install all of CS4 Master Collection.

Thanks!

Hmmm… You’re not supposed to see or even know about that invisible file.

I wouldn’t delete it, but then on my machine it’s only 270 MB or so.

However, if you do delete it, please let us know if your Adobe applications still run as expected. 🙂

Heh…I wouldn’t have known about it, if OmniDiskSweeper hadn’t pointed it out as a big space-eating folder.

I deleted the files in .AdobePatchFiles, and left the folder. Photoshop seemed to run fine, as did Adobe Update.
