Manually Uninstalling RSMalta!

If for some reason the automatic uninstall process fails, follow these steps to manually remove RSMalta! from your Joomla! installation:

Delete RSMalta! Files
  • Locate your Joomla!/templates/ folder. Delete the folder named rsmalta.
  • Locate your Joomla!/plugins/editors-xtd/ folder. Delete the sub-folder named rstemplate_shortcode.
  • Locate your Joomla!/plugins/system/ folder. Delete the folder named rstemplate.
Delete RSMalta! from database
  • Connect to your MySQL database (for example, if your Joomla! database prefix is "jos") and:
  • browse the jos_template_styles table. Delete all records that have the value rsmalta in the template column. For instance, use this SQL script:

    DELETE FROM `jos_template_styles` WHERE `template`='rsmalta'
  • browse the jos_extensions table. Delete all records that have the value rsmalta in the element column. For instance, use this SQL script:

    DELETE FROM `jos_extensions` WHERE `element`='rsmalta' OR `element`='rstemplate' OR `element`='pkg_rsmalta' OR `element`='rstemplate_shortcode'
