Find the name of the module you want to uninstall. Look for the Remove link, and click it. Then delete any third-party files or directories related to that module. (But back up your database and EE installation first, so that you can roll back if something goes wrong.) | |
| Sep 6, 2013 at 7:03 | comment | added | developarvin | Okay I tried updating again. Now I see the part where it is trying to update the database. It seemed to migrate nicely. However, my safecracker forms are still there. I also think that the safecracker data is still in the database. So do I manually uninstall safecracker now? | |

| Sep 6, 2013 at 2:34 | comment | added | user800 | If you're seeing those kinds of problems (would have been nice to hear about that in the original question, BTW) I would: 1) make a copy of the "after-upgrade" database and screenshot these other errors you're getting; 2) roll back the EE install and database to 2.5.5; 3) report the problems to the Ellislab folks/submit a ticket and attach all error-message/db schema screenshots so that the EllisLab folks can properly troubleshoot and fix. | |
| Sep 6, 2013 at 1:40 | comment | added | developarvin | There was no problem on any steps. I was able to go to the last update page without any problems. I only noticed the problems when I started clicking around the Control Panel. I got SQL errors such as missing fields, tables, etc. I did an investigation into the database and compared it to the schema specified by ExpressionEngine 2.7.0. That is when I realized that my database retained its old structure and did not match the structure in ExpressionEngine 2.7.0. It seemed to me that it did not update the database. | |
| Sep 5, 2013 at 16:41 | comment | added | user800 | Then perhaps I don't understand your question. The image you linked for us is the typical post-update image that I've seen every time I update my various ExpressionEngine installations. You have to delete the /system/installer/ folder before you'll be able to see the site - that's done as a security precaution - but unless you're seeing some error message, the database has been updated. It's done "in the background" during the upgrade process, it's not a separate step that you have to take or initiate. But you do have to delete that /system/installer/ folder and all of its files to see the CP. | |
