Manually uninstall RSMail!
If for some reason the automatic uninstallation fails, follow these steps to manually remove RSMail! from your Joomla!:
- Locate your Joomla!/components/ folder. Delete the folder named com_rsmail.
- Locate your Joomla!/administrator/components/ folder. Delete the folder named com_rsmail.
- Connect to your MySQL database and remove all of the _rsmail tables. For example, if your Joomla! database prefix is "jos", remove all tables that start with jos_rsmail. For instance, use this SQL script:
- For Joomla! 3.x: Browse the _extensions, _assets and _menus tables and erase all com_rsmail entries. For instance, use this SQL queries:
DROP TABLE `jos_rsmail_ar_details`, `jos_rsmail_ar_messages`, `jos_rsmail_ar_message_details`, `jos_rsmail_autoresponders`, `jos_rsmail_bounce_emails`, `jos_rsmail_config`, `jos_rsmail_cron_logs`, `jos_rsmail_cron_logs_emails`, `jos_rsmail_emails`, `jos_rsmail_errors`, `jos_rsmail_files`, `jos_rsmail_lists`, `jos_rsmail_list_fields`, `jos_rsmail_log`, `jos_rsmail_messages`, `jos_rsmail_reports`, `jos_rsmail_sessions`, `jos_rsmail_session_details`, `jos_rsmail_session_filters`, `jos_rsmail_subscribers`, `jos_rsmail_subscribers_clicks`, `jos_rsmail_subscribers_opens`, `jos_rsmail_subscriber_details`, `jos_rsmail_templates`
DELETE FROM `jos_extensions` WHERE `element`='com_rsmail' DELETE FROM `jos_menus` WHERE `link` LIKE '%com_rsmail%' DELETE FROM `jos_assets` WHERE `name` LIKE '%com_rsmail%'
