XF 2.0 Easy way to remove all 1.x addons?

[surfsup]

I have over like 50 addons, is it really needed to remove every single one by one before upgrading? I dont mind im just wondering if its a requirement and what issues could arise if not?

Or if there is a much faster way cause going to list addons then delete takes forever....

Not necessarily.
See here: https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/manual/install-upgrade/#upgrading-from-xenforo-1

If you do intend to uninstall any, they have to be done one at a time and any files on the server manually deleted.

Ok cool, cause read this on that page; If you do not intend to use an add-on any longer, if possible, we recommend uninstalling it before upgrading. Not doing so may leave orphaned data in your database........

Right, but some XF1 add-ons can be upgraded to the XF2 version, so you wouldn't want to uninstall those if you intend to upgrade them, as you would then lose any data/content associated with them.

I think the important thing to determine is, does the add-on modify the database? If the add-on doesn't modify the database you can uninstall it prior to upgrading to XF2 or after.
