Removing the plugin
Removing the plugin
The installed packages can be removed manually in the following way:
- Extract the installation package to a folder on the file system. A Sitecore package is a standard ZIP archive.
Note:
Usually, Sitecore packages contain a package.ZIP file in the original package. This file should also be extracted. - Find the folders called /files and /items in the target location you used when extracting the package.
- In the /files folder, you can find the files that get installed with the package.
- Match the file paths from the /files folder with the same files in your Sitecore solution and delete or replace them with the original version.
Note:
If the file was overwritten, its old version can be found at the following location:
/temp/installation_history/{GUID}/
For example:
In the extracted package, you have the \SitecoreSomeModule\package\files\bin\Sitecore.SomeModule.dll file.
In the Sitecore solution, navigate to the \Website\bin folder and remove the Sitecore.SomeModule.dll file. - In the /items folder, you can find the items that are installed with the package.
- Match file paths from the /items folder with the same items in your Sitecore solution and update them.
Note:
Sitecore does not keep original versions of items when overwriting them.
For example:- In the extracted package, you have the \SitecoreSomeModule\package\items\master\sitecore\system\Modules\SitecoreSomeModule\{D81AC026-07B6-4929-9588-40ACBDC56435}\en\1\xml file
- The \sitecore\system\Modules\SitecoreSomeModule is an item’s path in the Sitecore content tree.
- The {D81AC026-07B6-4929-9588-40ACBDC56435} the folder is an item’s GUID.
- The en folder is the item’s language.
- The 1 folder is the item’s version.
- The XML file contains an item’s values in the XML format.
- In the Sitecore content tree, switch to the Master database and navigate to the /sitecore/system/Modules/SitecoreSomeModule item. The GUID of the SitecoreSomeModule item is {D81AC026-07B6-4929-9588-40ACBDC56435}.
