Uninstall of nextGen Gallery not possible

  • During uninstall several errors appear. It is almost impossible to delete the nextGen plugin folder from the server. The tables in the database remain also.

    ?

    A correct uninstall routine is one of the easiest things considering coding a wordpress-plugin. If a plugin doesn’t unstill correctly I can only say: hands off!

    @chrisiwien – I would expect some sort of conflict on your site to cause what you are describing but if you want to completely remove NextGEN Gallery then the following may be of use:

    This process will generally work but we recommend you have a complete fully verified back-up of your site just in case you run into any problems:

Use FTP to remove NextGEN Gallery related folders.
Then use something like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wpdbspringclean/ to delete all the ngg tables.
Then use something like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/database-peek/ to search through the remaining tables for NGG references.
Then use something like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/edit-any-table/ to delete all of these database entries.

Tables typically involved: wp_ngg_*, wp_options, wp_postmeta, and wp_usermeta

    Thanks!

    – Cais.
