How to UNinstall chatarea

How to UNinstall chatarea

I read about the chatarea php module in one of these forums and installed it. I never could make it work so I removed the chatarea directory. But I'm still getting references and error messages referring to the chatarea module. For example with "turn editing on" in a course the chatarea shows up as an add-able option.

Can anyone help me completely remove the chatarea references from the system please?

mant thanks!

Using the myphpadmin script I searched the database for "chatarea" and got two hits, one hit is several records in mdl_log

The other looks promising for the final uninstall of chatarea.

In the table  mdl_modules  is a record:

Edit    Delete  8  chatarea  2002121800  0  0

Shall I click on the "Delete" option? I'm a little nervous about touching the data directly so I thought I'd ask first. 

Thanks!

Yep, that's exactly right. First you delete the directory, then you delete this entry from the "modules" table. Same thing to uninstall any other module. A GUI is coming for this.
