This must be a repetitive topic but I haven't really found the answer so far. I installed Umbraco-Forms through the backoffice and no the PM.
There was a post about removing just the plug-in folder but it didn't work. And because I installed Umbraco through the back office when I see my installed packages it doesn't show Forms.
Can anyone point me to the right way to Uninstall Umbraco-Forms through the back office or just the right way. Seems like a dead-end to me.
Are you using source control? The easiest way would be to see what files were added/changed when you installed, then undo those changes. You could also redo an Umbraco Forms install on a new Umbraco install to see the difference (so you know what to remove).
Alternatively, here are some things to look for:
Remove anything that says "Umbraco.Forms" in the web.config.
Remove anything mentioning Umbraco Forms from the dashboard.config in the config folder.
Remove Umbraco Forms from the trees.config and applications.config (both in the config folder).
Remove any DLL's from the bin folder that say "Umbraco.Forms".
Remove any tables in the database that start with the prefix "uf".
Remove the Umbraco Forms folder in the App_Plugins folder (can't remember, but I'm guessing it creates a folder in there).
That should just about do it.
And because I installed Umbraco through the back office when I see my installed packages it doesn't show Forms.
FYI, that doesn't make much sense to me. When you install it via the back office, it should appear as installed (unless you removed it from the installedPackages.config file).
You don't know how grateful I am. Thank you so much. The only thing to add to your post in case someone runs on the same issue is. Make sure to delete the Umbraco.Form references.
I did everything you mentioned and the reference and I was good to go. I tried installing it through the PM and uninstalling but the problem remained.
Now that I go back to the forms page I don't see the video anymore - not that is relevant. Not sure if there was an easier way, but installing forms through the back office is terrible.
Uninstalling Umbraco Forms
