I deleted a module without disabling and uninstalling it first. Now I just get a blank white screen, but I don't see any error messages. What can I try to fix this?

8Download the module again. Place it in sites/all/modules, disable it, uninstall it and then delete again. – AjitS Oct 11 '13 at 18:14

And that still might not be enough if there's a hardwired call to the module in a dependent module; some PHP-running textarea (Views globals, blocks, nodes); the theme... – user49 Oct 12 '13 at 6:40

OK, but the rest still stands :) – user49 Oct 13 '13 at 12:32
Run the following query.
select info from system where name = 'module_name';
You will get a blob. Within this blob look out for text after version. You can find the version of the module here.
Download this version of the module. Place it in sites/all/modules folder(you can also find out the previous location from the file-name field in system table), uninstall the module. Now delete the module.

1Yes, this is the correct answer if the module implements an uninstall hook. – forest Oct 12 '13 at 2:29
Put the exact same version of the module back into your modules folder, disable and then uninstall it the correct way.

Hello. I don't quite understand why it should help, and how. Please consider expanding your answer. – Mołot Oct 11 '13 at 21:13
From SQL console or PHPMyAdmin:
update system set status = 0 where name = 'MYMISSINGMODULE';
Clear cache and stay calm.

2That's a bad thing. There might be something important being done in uninstall. – Gokul N K Oct 11 '13 at 18:44
If you put it back and then disable it and uninstall it again.
You need to supply some additional information:
- The version of Drupal (5,6,7,8?)
- The name and version of the module
I've previously restored the database of Drupal 6 to a site without all the modules and never got a blank page so it must of been a pretty important part of the site.
Are you sure you can't access the ?q=/admin page? Even if you can't access the rest of the site these pages maybe unaffected.
