How to remove odoo 8 module

Question

I'm learning odoo 8 module programming. I've just created a test module via scaffold command like this:

odoo.py scaffold abc addons

The module now appear under Settings when I log in. This was just my first test and I haven't installed module "abc" inside web user interface. Instead I want to remove it. I've deleted the content of "abc" in /opt/odoo/addons restarted the server (Ubuntu 14.04) but the module "abc" still appears under settings in web gui. How can I "purge" my "abc" module. Is there a reverse command to scaffold?

Answer 1

You removed the physical data from your system, but the entry of that module is still there in the database. If you want to remove that module from the odoo than you should do "uninstall" of that module and further if you don't want that module even in the listing than you should delete that record and for that you should switch you module listing to "list view" and select that record and delete it. Then later on if you don't want that module for ever than you can remove from your computer system.

Answer 2

simple when restart the server the use this in command line

./odoo.py -d databasename --db-filter databasename -u base 

and see the module list is updated.

Answer 3

Go to modules form view, choose abc in more menu click on delete.

Answer 6

I am late to the party, but this may be useful to someone.

I had uninstalled an Odoo 10 module via the web GUI and deleted it from addons, but it still showed up in the list of apps.

I found there was an entry in the table for the module with a state of 'to be installed', so I deleted it by firing up psql and manually deleting the record:

psql -h <hostname> -d <database> -U odoo
select name, state from ir_module_module order by name;
delete from ir_module_module where name = 'my_uninstalled_app';

I refreshed the Apps page and it no longer appeared.
