I'm running Drupal 7 from 2011-01-05 and I'm trying to uninstall Views Slideshow: Cycle (7.x-3.0 alpha1) and Views Slideshow(7.x-3.0-alpha1). I disabled them in the modules list then go to the uninstall list and uninstall them there but they still show up in the modules list and I can't re-install it because it says the modules are already installed.

I've tried clearing the cache.

Any ideas?

To remove modules, you have to remove them from your server's modules directory (usually sites/all/modules/). Uninstalling through the interface runs the uninstall code provided in the module, typically to remove custom database data and tables that the module may have created.

  1. Uncheck the module from your sites

    go to uninstall tab & check the modules you want to uninstall ->uninstall

2. go to sites/all/modules delete the module

3. go to the "database"-> "system" table -> search for that module row & delete (if the row exists)

4. clear the cache

Now it will be removed properly.
