How to uninstall plugins (that don't currently work)?

[jdaviescoates]

I really need to be able to use the discourse-calendar plugin, but at present that doesn't work on Cloudron at all (and so trying to install it has bricked my Discourse which now won't start at all)

So how do I uninstall a plugin on Discourse? Nothing in the docs about it. Do I just delete the relevant folder, or what? thanks!

Do I just delete the relevant folder

That didn't help. App still won't start.

Oh, after another restart it did start-up. Odd.

Still wondering if there is something else I ought to do to clean up the borked install of discourse-calendar though?

Seems the proposed method is indeed to just delete the directory:

@girish said in How to deinstall plugins:

I think just deleting the plugin directory inside /app/data/plugins and restarting the app will do it.

@staff that info should be added to the docs

But, also, does removing the directory actually make Cloudron then edit the app.yml file to remove references to the plugin?

Because that is what is supposed to happen as per:
