To remove a module from Drupal, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Drupal website as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to the "Extend" page by clicking on "Manage" in the top toolbar and selecting "Extend" from the dropdown menu.
  3. On the "Extend" page, you will see a list of all installed modules. Locate the module you want to remove.
  4. Click on the checkbox next to the module name to select it.
  5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Uninstall" button.
  6. A confirmation message will appear. Read it carefully, as it may inform you of any dependent modules that will also be uninstalled. Click on the "Uninstall" button again to proceed.
  7. Drupal will proceed with the uninstallation process, which may take a few moments. Once the process is complete, you will see a notification message indicating the successful uninstallation.
  8. Optionally, you can also delete the module files from the modules directory in your Drupal installation, located under "sites/all/modules" or "modules" depending on your setup. However, it is recommended to keep a backup of the module files in case you need to reinstall it in the future.
  9. Clear the site cache by selecting "Configuration" in the top toolbar, then "Development" from the dropdown menu, and finally clicking on the "Clear all caches" button. This step is important to ensure that any remnants of the uninstalled module are removed from the system.


By following these steps, you should be able to successfully remove a module from your Drupal website.
