Manually uninstalling RSSocial!

Uninstalling RSSocial! can be done in 2 manners: either manually, or using Joomla!'s default Extension Manager feature. In this article we will be presenting the first method.

Manually uninstalling RSSocial! is a little bit more complicated than using Joomla!'s Extension Manager, there are some files and a database entry that you need to delete yourself:

 
Files

All of RSSocial!'s files are stored in the following folder:

/modules/mod_rssocial

Please remove this folder completely.

Database

dbprefix_modules

Access this table using a database manager (like phpMyAdmin, for example) and delete the entry that has mod_rssocial as a set value in the module column.

Some information is also stored in the following table:

dbprefix_extensions

Access this table using a database manager (like phpMyAdmin, for example) and delete the entry that has mod_rssocial as a set value in the name column.

 

Tip: You can also use the following queries to delete the module's entries in the dbprefix_modules and dbprefix_extensions tables: 

DELETE FROM `dbprefix_modules` WHERE `module`='mod_rssocial'

DELETE FROM `dbprefix_extensions` WHERE `name`='mod_rssocial'
