Uninstall

  1. Navigate to AdminCP > Add-ons and click Uninstall next to [MC] Downloads Manager.
  2. Confirm the uninstall when prompted.

The uninstall steps drop the add-on's tables, remove uploaded files from internal_data/mc-downloads/ (or from the remapped storage backend if you reconfigured the internal-data adapter), delete the route filter, and remove the add-on's options, permissions, phrases, and templates.

What is not removed

  • Linked discussion threads belong to the standard forum tables and stay in place. If you want to act on them first, set the When a download is deleted option appropriately before uninstalling.
  • Bookmarks (xf_bookmark_item) and reactions (xf_reaction_content) that point at downloads, versions, comments, or reviews remain as orphaned rows. They cause no damage; a DBA can delete rows whose content type starts with mc_dm_ to clean up.

Before you uninstall

If you want to keep the stored files for archival, copy them out of internal_data/mc-downloads/ (or your remote storage backend) before uninstalling. The uninstaller deletes them in place.
