Uninstall does not remove files
See original GitHub issueDescription of bug
If you choose to uninstall a module, it leaves the files behind, despite checking the “Remove Files” checkbox. It also doesn’t display the module version.
Steps to reproduce
List the steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install DNN 9.2.2
- Install any third-party module.
- Choose to uninstall the module you just installed.
- First step, you don’t see the version number, but instead version 0.0.0 selected.
- Check the “Remove Files” checkbox.
- Click the “Delete” button.
Current result
The module is uninstalled, but the uninstall view didn’t know the module number, and the files in the respective DesktopModules
folder are not deleted as expected. No errors are logged. The SQL uninstall script is run and the bin
files are both executed as expected.
Expected result
The DesktopModules
folder should also have been cleared of the files that need to be deleted, if the checkbox was checked.

I haven’t tested this since creating the issue.
@david-poindexter I can no longer reproduce using the same Survey module in Dnn 9.6.1
