Yes, you should remove it. Flash Player is dead worldwide since 12/31/2020. You no longer need it and all it’s doing is taking up resources and space on your computer. Flash has always been fertile ground for hacker and scammers.


Use the link provided to download the proper uninstaller from Adobe.
