Removing expensions

boagworld

Is there a clean way to remove all traces of an extension? For example I am having problems with the attachments addon and am looking for a way to completely remove it and start from scratch.

Yes and No. You can delete your extensions.php to disable all extensions and go back to the core Vanilla install.

But! If you have installed extensions that created tables or added permissions, you'll have to remove them manually. Tables can easily be deleted with phpMyAdmin or any other database query tool. The only flaw in Vanilla is that permissions won't get removed and leave an "ugly" trace in your roles & permissions list (e.g. PERMISSION_ADD_ATTACHMENTS).

So there is no way to get rid of the PERMISSION_ADD_ATTACHMENTS and PERMISSION_MANAGE_ATTACHMENTS permissions in Roles & Permissions?
