I have an Adobe folder on my AppData Roaming section, in my brand-new OS install. Does it automatically come with W10? Why is it there? I didn't install it.

+ I heard adobe was dead since 2020, can I safely remove this?

Adobe Reader may have come with some other application or driver, to allow you to read their documentation.

Also, "Print to PDF" is an integral print function.

"Adobe" is not 'dead'. Some of the extra subsystems in the Adobe world were discontinued, but Adobe, and the PDF function, is still very much alive.

There is no reason to delete it. You gain nothing but a tiny tiny bit of drive space. And possibly lose some functionality.
Leave it alone.

I'm going to be brutally direct here. If you didn't even know that Adobe was a thing in 2022, you almost certainly lack the knowledge background to mess with Windows outside of user settings and certainly have no good reason to start digging into system folders.

Just because I can change the oil in my car and the tires doesn't mean I have any business disassembling the transmission.
