  2. Allow deleting uninstalled/unused modules/themes/layouts from the filesystem via the admin UI

Allow deleting uninstalled/unused modules/themes/layouts from the filesystem via the admin UI

When you uninstall a module, it only deletes the data. I think that uninstall should remove the module entirely (from the filesystem and the ‘List Modules’ page) and there should be a ‘Clear Data’ tab or button where we clear the data for a module. I think this would be more intuitive this way. Thoughts?

Hi, i understand the updating obstacle - not worth mentioning - hence it is a wacky (but working) patch until i know what to do. :-) One of my biggest wishes is to understand the hook...
