I have created a website named www.connectedipvoice.com and installed SEO Boss extension. Somehow it was not working so I tried to remove it using my administrator mode from my website but it shows a message:

JFolder: :delete: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/content/54/9492054/html/components/com_seoboss Component Uninstall: Can't uninstall. Please remove manually

Then I tried to uninstall directly from server but it's not showing there too. My problem is when I try to install it again - it's showing me that the file is already installed and when I checked in the extension area > manage catagory I found that SEO Boss extension is still there. But now I'm unable to get the options to remove it - the status column becomes blank!

To properly uninstall it (so you can install it again) you need to also remove the component reference inside the table called #__extensions

Search the element field for anything containing "com_seoboss" and delete it.

Then you should be able to install it again.

You should also look for this and delete it - /home/content/54/9492054/html/administrator/components/com_seoboss

I am not too sure what you mean by 'i tried to uninstall directly from the server'. Anyway, I have had a similar issue to you when I was trying to uninstall virtuemart from a website. What worked for me was to:

  1. manually delete all the component folders (using an FTP client like Filezilla )
  2. manually delete all component tables from the database (using phpMyAdmin)

If you try this solution, make sure you backup your database first. Hope this helps.
