I used Adobe Dreamweaver for probably close to a decade. I have since moved on to VSCode, but I still maintain several old sites built with Dreamweaver. Since no one in our organization uses Dreamweaver I finally decided it was time to remove the extra directories and files associated with Dreamweaver. This involved cleaning up both the server and my local Mac.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Following are instructions for removing Adobe Dreamweaver directories and files from a Windows server and a local Mac. I recommend logging and reviewing what\u2019s being cleaned up before deleting, but if Danger is your middle name feel free to skip it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
