I guess your attendance module tables were not deleted when you went to manage activities link and deleted the attendance module.

You could try deleting it manually by using something like phpMyAdmin. The tables all start with mdl_attendance where mdl is the prefix to the tables on your Moodle site.

Do you still have the original attforblock files that were present in your mod folder? Try putting them there again and deleting your attendance module again in Site Admin > Modules > Manage Activities. Is it still showing up there?

What database do you use? (MySQL, MSSQL, Postgres)

Cheers,

Barry
