How To Remove Add Ons

General General Questions
1

After I uninstall an addon, how do I remove completely from installation.

Do I just remove from app/addons ?



Also, I have a lot (about 30) of “View” addons in the Browse all available add ons section of my add ons.

I think this happened during a bad upgrade install. It is strange, all I see is the word “View” as you would normally see the add on.

Any ideas how to get rid of these?

Yes, in this case the module will not be displayed in the list of available modules. But note that the files of the module still can be found in various directories. E.g.



js/addons

var/themes_repository/THEME/templates/addons/

design/backend/templates/addons/

var/themes_repository/THEME/mail/templates/addons/

var/themes_repository/THEME/css/addons/

var/themes_repository/THEME/media/images/addons/

Make a backup of the cscart_addons and cscart_addon_descriptions tables. The info about installed addons is stored there. Try to clean it and delete data about empty modules

There are also mail templates, media and CSS files in the backend directory structure. Also note that these paths are for v4 only.
