I'm going to be uninstalling the Portal Store module from my DNN 4.3.5 install - piece by piece it's been replaced by Listx.    Thing is, I want to keep the database tables, and just lose the .DLL and code.     There is of course the matter of all the digital download files located inside the /desktopmodules/portalstore/files/downloads directory.

I've seen mixed results using DNN module delete command in 'Module Definitions'. It seems hit and miss, sometimes DB tables remain for modules, sometimes not.. sometimes .DLL's stick around in the /bin and other times they go.

Before I pull the plug on something as critical as this i'd like to know exactly what would be deleted if I use the Module Definitions 'Delete' command.

thx

In the /desktopmodules/portalstore/ folder you should see an uninstall file. Inside that will be SQL comands to delete the files. If you are wanting to keep some files and Tables then I would recommend against using the delete command in module definitions.

If you backup everything, you should be able to just go and delete all the stuff you don't want or need anymore manually.
