Manually uninstall RSComments!
If for some reason the automatic uninstallation fails, follow these steps to manually remove RSComments! from your Joomla!:
- Locate your Joomla! /administrator/components/ folder. Delete the folder named com_rscomments.
- Locate your Joomla! /components/ folder. Delete the folder named com_rscomments.
- Connect to your MySQL database and remove all of the _rscomments tables. For example, if your Joomla! database prefix is "jos", remove all tables that start with jos_rscomments. For instance, use this SQL script: DROP TABLE `jos_rscomments_comments`, `jos_rscomments_config`, `jos_rscomments_groups`, `jos_rscomments_subscriptions`, `jos_rscomments_votes`
- Browse the _components table. Delete all records that have the value com_rscomments in the option column. For instance, use this SQL script: DELETE FROM `jos_components` WHERE `option`='com_rscomments'
- Joomla! 1.6 / 1.7 / 2.5: Browse the _extensions, _assets and _menus tables and erase all com_rscomments entries. For instance, use this SQL queries:
DELETE FROM `jos_extensions` WHERE `element`='com_rscomments'
DELETE FROM `jos_menus` WHERE `link` LIKE '%com_rscomments%'
DELETE FROM `jos_assets` WHERE `name` LIKE '%com_rscomments%'
