  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?

Hello - Glad to met Backdrop

I have just received notification from my hosting provider of a similar upgrade, ie MariaDB 10.3 to 10.6 and later to 10.11. Is there any reason to suppose this will cause any problems...
