The uninstallation of the obsolete extension had failed in the past due to file/folder ownership or permissions. The obsolete extension predates Joomla's ability to uninstall obsolete extensions when installing an update. This can happen despite our best efforts to remove obsolete extensions when installing a new version of our software. This means that over time your site may have accumulated some leftover extensions from many years ago. Since Joomla 1.6 it's been possible to upgrade your site in place to the next Joomla version without a migration. Our extensions have been around for many years, some going as far back as Joomla 1.0. This way the Magic Eraser ()meant to clean up leftover extensions) doesn't leave any leftover extensions of its own behind! Why is this necessary We are simply using Joomla's pre-installation script feature to run our custom clean-up script and then tell Joomla to abort the installation of our (fake) package. Nothing is meant to be installed on your site. Ignore any warnings and the error that the file could not be installer. Wait for a few seconds while the cleanup is in progress. On Joomla 4: go to System, Install, Extensions, Upload Package File.ĭrag the ZIP file you downloaded in the upload area.
On Joomla 3: go to Extensions, Install, Upload & Install. It's a file called something like file_magiceraser-1.0.0.zip.
