My husband has Mac OS Catalina version 10.15.7. He has tried unsuccessfully to uninstall Adobe Flash Player. When he clicks on it, it asks for administrator and password. It even prompts hint for the password and he keeps trying it. I don't recall that the Adobe Flash Player on my Mac required that. Anyway, is there any other way to force the uninstallation of it?
Thanks.

If it is in System Preference you can fully suspect this is the Adobe Flash.

What is the "desktop bar" exactly ? You have the menu bar across the top, you have the Dock across the bottom by default.

Adobe Flash has been deprecated for some time— fake Flash is a known malware source....
Typically Adobe Flash can be delete from the >System Preferences> Adobe Flash
delete it if it is in the preference pane.

Thanks. I've done all I can. I think we'll take it in to an Apple store for service and go from there.
