Hi,
How do you completely remove extensions? As I understand it if you go to Modules, and click on the red box to uninstall, it doesn't actually uninstall it because in some point in the future if you want to reinstall it all you have to do is click on the same box which is now green. Therefore, it isn't actually uninstalled, it is only just disabled. Am I understanding this correctly?
So, how do you actually uninstall extensions to where their files are removed and deleted?
Thanks
You have to inspect the downloaded extension files (zip?) to see which were added to which folder and remove them manually. This includes any vqmod xmls and uninstalling and deleting + refreshing ocmods.
If there were any database changes, let's hope there's an uninstall function that restores the original state, otherwise you'd have to dive into phpmyadmin (for example) and reverse those too.
If core files were replaced you'd have to get them from the original Opencart download for your version(!)
Piece of cake

Our extensions:
Visual Theme Editor - Powerful tool for customizing style of any theme visually
Live Theme Editor - Customize layout, colors, backgrounds, fonts of the default theme
Theme Animation - Animation Editor for any theme
Extra Positions PRO, Custom JavaScript, Custom CSS and others
Generally speaking... the default structure of most extensions break down to:
Modules (~6 files):
Generally library files are just orphaned and cause no issue by being there. But vQmod and ocmod scripts that rely on the module files may cause issues if not removed.. So like artcore said, inspect the zip file the mod came in and try to find all the files there on your server.
Modules (~6 files):
- admin/controller/module/xxx.php
- admin/language/english/module/xxx.php
- admin/view/template/module/xxx.tpl
- catalog/controller/module/xxx.php
- catalog/language/english/module/xxx.php
- catalog/view/template/module/xxx.tpl
- admin/controller/payment/xxx.php
- admin/language/english/payment/xxx.php
- admin/view/template/payment/xxx.tpl
- catalog/controller/payment/xxx.php
- catalog/model/payment/xxx.php
- catalog/language/english/payment/xxx.php
- catalog/view/template/payment/xxx.tpl
- admin/controller/shipping/xxx.php
- admin/language/english/shipping/xxx.php
- admin/view/template/shipping/xxx.tpl

For me this extension is invaluable:

If you want to do it manually use Filezilla and remove the relevant MVC-L files.
