Removing the plugin


The installed packages can be removed manually in the following way:

  1. 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.
  2. Find the folders called /files and /items in the target location you used when extracting the package.
  3. In the /files folder, you can find the files that get installed with the package. 
  4. 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.
  5. In the /items folder, you can find the items that are installed with the package. 
  6. 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}.
