How to delete "permanent" module

[bmacnaughton]

I modified an existing module to experiment with creating an Inputfield module. While core modules are good examples, I shouldn't have copied the "permanent => true" part in getModuleInfo.

Can I just delete that record in the modules table in the DB or are there dependencies I need to clean up?

You should be able to set permanent=false in your module info, and then in your admin do a Modules > Refresh. But if that doesn't do it, you could always update the 'flags' column for that module to be 0 (in the modules table), and then after a Modules > Refresh it should definitely let you uninstall/remove it.

I was able to delete after changing the permanent value in the module and refreshing.

Thanks.
