I had a pre-existing installation of Adobe Photoshop CS6 when I installed a free trial of Premiere Pro, which required me to install Adobe Creative Cloud. This version of Photoshop is standalone and has always worked completely independently of Creative Cloud.
Now, Creative Cloud has somehow associated itself with Photoshop, and I am prevented from uninstalling Creative Cloud because:
You still have Creative Cloud applications installed on your computer that require it.
This error appears when trying to uninstall through "Programs and Features" on Windows 10.
How do I remove Creative Cloud without uninstalling Photoshop?

What OS? On Mac, all CC uninstallers are in Apps/Utilities. idk whether windows has specific uninstallers, but it sounds like you're trying to get a generic uninstaller to work, rather than a specific one. – Tetsujin – 2019-12-02T10:24:05.083
Windows. This error was obtained when trying to uninstall Creative Cloud through "Programs and Features". I will edit the question to clarify. – Dan – 2019-12-02T11:29:42.750
It might not be possible to remove the Adobe Creative Cloud Static Software Application without uninstalling everything else that is produced by the Adobe Corporation. This might be the Intended Design. If you really want to get rid of it, uninstall everything else and then reinstall what you still need. Think of the bright side: there are Static Software Applications, such as McAfee's Anti-Malware Desktop Suites, that are never uninstallable, except through a Clean Reinstallation Procedure of the Operating System.We remember dearly a Forum Thread intensively discussing that situation. – None – 2019-12-02T12:32:28.110
Urgh. How obnoxious. I was hoping I might at least be able to go into Safe Mode and delete it by hand. – Dan – 2019-12-02T15:25:03.040
