This Module is For Advanced Power Users Only! We hold no responsibility for misuse of this module! This module MAY break things! You have been warned!

Benifit

Uninstalling a module does not remove that module from the systems table. After awhile this table may grow with modules that have been installed then removed, System Table Cleaner fixes this problem by removing this extra data.

Details

The systems table keeps information regarding themes and modules along with version information. This module will eliminate rows from the systems table for all modules that don't exist in the file table. For maximum benefit, uninstall all themes you do not plan on using.

Removing system table data on improperly uninstalled modules will leave behind old database tables and variables behind. The lack of version information may cause the install script to fail. The module maintainers hold no responsibility for damage that occurs due to this module.

Warning

This module will NOT uninstall or clean up any other module variables and/or tables. It is advisable that only properly uninstalled modules are removed. If a module was not properly uninstalled one possible solution is to re-install the module then uninstall it.
