XF 2.2 Unable to remove Add-on (See explanation in Body)!

[Paul]

I realise that this is related to an add-on, however since the develiper isnt responding at all i have no-where else to turn....

This is with regards to the "[XTR] Custom post fields" addon which has been deleted.
I have tried to contact the add-on's support via their online ticketing on this since I'm actually unable to uninstall this add-on, but no response, so i'm reaching out to see if anyone (who has more experience than me) could advise please?

When i try to uninstall, i get the following :

i have no custom fields created...

Any assistance appreciated!
Thanks
Paul

I think it’s best to delete it through the file manager when using cPanel for example.

Add this to your config.php file and try again, maybe it will help.

$config['enableListeners'] = false;

I'm not sure this is recommended, it just deletes the files without removing any database changes or changes in the ACP.

Possibly yes, I’ve done it before without encountering any issues though. But if your method works, all the better.

Probably it depends on the complexity of the add-on.

Well thats really strange!!

Disabled "enablelisteners", disabled the add-on and all posts went blank. Heart stopping moment. Then i couldnt access the addons in admincp (all blank). Re-enabled "enablelisteners" and after what seemed like an age the addons came back.... then re-enabled the add-on again.

So i then re-disabled the add-on in question.... and didnt get the error! Then deleted and again no errors!

Not sure how or why it worked... but it did, without seemingly breaking anything else, so thanks to all for the suggestions!!!
