#  Uninstalling Convert Forms

If you no longer need Convert Forms, you can fully remove it by uninstalling all its extensions. Since Convert Forms is not distributed as a single Joomla package, it must be uninstalled in steps.

## [Steps to uninstall Convert Forms](#steps-to-uninstall-convert-forms)

Follow these steps to remove Convert Forms completely:

### [1. Uninstall the System Plugin](#1-uninstall-the-system-plugin)

- In your Joomla Administrator, go to System → Manage **→** Extensions.
- Search for Convert Forms.
- Locate the System Plugin (e.g., System - Convert Forms).
- Select it and click **Uninstall**.

### [2. Uninstall the Administrator Component](#2-uninstall-the-administrator-component)

- In the same list, find the Convert Forms Component (listed as Convert Forms under the Component type).
- Select it and click **Uninstall**.

Uninstalling the Administrator Component will also remove the extension’s database tables. If you have existing form submissions or data you’d like to keep, it’s recommended to take a full site/database backup before uninstalling.

### [3. Uninstall the Remaining Plugins](#3-uninstall-the-remaining-plugins)

- Still in System → Manage → Extensions, search again for Convert Forms.
- Select any remaining plugins associated with Convert Forms (for example, integrations etc.).
- Click **Uninstall** to remove them

## [Important Notes](#important-notes)

- Uninstalling only some parts (e.g., removing plugins but leaving the component) may cause frontend errors due to missing helper files. Always uninstall in the order above.
- If you run into errors after a partial uninstall, reinstall Convert Forms first, then repeat the full removal process.

## [After Uninstallation](#after-uninstallation)

Even after fully uninstalling Convert Forms, some related items may remain in your site. You may want to review and clean them up manually:

- Menu Items pointing to Convert Forms menu types (e.g., Submissions or Form).
- Modules created using the Convert Forms modules.
- Uploaded Files from forms that used the File Upload field. These files remain on your server until you remove them manually.
