Can't remove custom modules

[sacramentojoe]

I was doing an upgrade at a new job from Sugar CE 4.5.1 to Sugar CE 5.0.h. This is the version that they decided upon so I went with it. The upgrade went fine as expected '), but the Forums module and a few other modules that were previously installed no longer work now.
I'm fine with that and expected it but I just want to remove them along with their lint.
I went to the module loader and it was giving an error about a missing directory.
For WHATEVER reason, they removed everything from /cache/upload/upgrade directory. I saved the data in the upgrade history table, and truncated it so I could get past the error.

I know i'll need to delete the tables manually as well as the FileSystem, what would be the best step of actions to take?
I have a copy of the 4.5.1 before I made the upgrade if it would be easier to remove them from the older system.

I'm at a loss, thanks.

Hi Joe

If you are not able to uninstall these modules from Module Loader.

You need to:
1. Go to Admin -> Configure tabs -> Move the tabs for these modules from Display to Hidden column;
2. Remove the folders of these modules into modules/ folder.
3. Remove the entries related to these modules from custom/Extension/application subfolders;
4. Go to Admin -> Repair -> Quick Repair and Rebuild

Hi

Thanks for that.

I followed the steps

and after doing the quick repair and rebuild i get the following

Clearing Vardefs from cache...done
Clearing language files from cache...done
Repair Database
Print Print Help Help
Processing database and vardef comparison...

Is that not supposed to end with a "done" ? like the other lines

thanks

Take a look in the tail of the sugarcrm.log in the root of your sugarcrm installation.
Additionally take a loot in the tail of the error log of your web service.

Did what ya said. theres way more wrong than i origionaly thaught. Whent to quick repair and rebuild again and it gave me

Differences found between database and vardefs

Then a huge script to run. that i rem from with in MSSQL on the server

When i run the script the first error i get is

Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 190
The index 'idx_lead_del_stat' is dependent on column 'status'.
Msg 4922, Level 16, State 9, Line 190
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN status failed because one or more objects access this column.

I commented those lines out and ran again and i get similar errors furthur down.

This is what was on line 190

ALTER TABLE leads ALTER COLUMN status nvarchar(100) NULL ;

So i made the change manualy. And ran the quick repair and rebuild and it came up again.

Any help please.
