In this step-by-step guide, learn how to uninstall or remove Adobe Flash Player from your Mac computer, and delete any additional related files.

Before you upgrade to Catalina, we recommend that you uninstall your 32-bit Adobe apps. Older uninstallers are also 32-bit apps and don't work in Catalina. If you already upgraded to Catalina, you can use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to uninstall older versions of Creative Cloud apps. Can Adobe Flash 32 be installed on Catalina or would it need to be 64 bit? I keep getting these notices to install (the installed is from 2016), but now that I have updated to Catalina I am not even sure that Adobe Flash will work. In the mean time, in System Preferences, I cannot even load Flash Player. In Safari, choose Window Downloads. If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), click the Downloads icon displayed on the browser. In Mozilla, choose Tools Downloads. To open the uninstaller, double-click it in the Downloads window. Note: If the Flash Player installer window does not.

These instructions are NOT applicable to Flash Player included with Google Chrome. Visit the Flash Player Help page for instructions on enabling (or disabling) Flash Player in various browsers.

Since updating to macOS Catalina, Flash is unable to be enabled on a per site setting in Edge Dev. I'm running Edge Dev version 79.0.294.1. It seems that macOS is blocking Flash within Edge Dev due to security issues (see attached photo). This isn't an issue in Chrome. I have this issue on two o. Flash content displayed! Turns out the Level 2 Apple Care support tech, who insisted 'Catalina does NOT run Flash as it is 32 bit', who insisted 'there's no one else to check with because he was the highest I could go at Apple', was full of crap, which I am finding far too frequently lately.

Remove Flash Player Catalina

  • Run the uninstaller on Mac OS X 10.4 and later, including macOS

Note:

Beginning with Flash Player 11.5, uninstalling the Flash Player resets the AutoUpdateDisable and SilentAutoUpdateEnable settings in mms.cfg to their default values:

Catalina
  • AutoUpdateDisable=0
  • SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0

If you are running the Flash Player uninstaller as part of your deployment process, redeploy any custom changes to either AutoUpdateDisable or SilentAutoUpdateEnable.

    The uninstaller is downloaded to the Downloads folder of your browser by default.
