 Download  GitHub  Support

ProcessModuleCleaner is a utility module for ProcessWire that helps administrators keep their site/modules/ directory clean. It identifies and allows for the deletion of orphaned or backup module directories that start with a dot (e.g., .ModuleName).

These directories are often created by ProcessWire during module upgrades or uninstalls as backups and can accumulate over time.

Features

  • Detection: Scans the modules directory for folders starting with a dot (.).
  • Overview: Lists found folders with their last modified date.
  • Cleanup: Provides an interface to select and permanently delete these folders.
  • Safety: Protected by ProcessWire's permission system (module-admin) and CSRF tokens.

Installation

  1. Download or clone this repository into your ProcessWire site/modules directory.
  2. In the ProcessWire admin, go to Modules > Refresh.
  3. Find 'Module Folder Cleaner' in the list (in Process) and click 'Install'.

Usage

  1. Navigate to Setup > Module Cleaner in the ProcessWire admin.
  2. If any orphaned folders are found, they will be listed.
  3. Select the folders you want to remove and click Delete Selected.
