I need to reinstall EasyDiscuss. Is there a way to have it remove the applications tables or install the default content during installation?
Hello,

Not really sure if I understand you here, do you mean you want to delete all the existing tables that was created by EasyDiscuss and start a fresh installation?

Currently when you uninstall EasyDiscuss, it doesn't remove the data from the site. This is to prevent admins who accidentally uninstall EasyDiscuss from the site.

If you want to start a fresh install:

1. Uninstall EasyDiscuss
2. Delete the tables with the prefixes of #__discuss_*
3. Install EasyDiscuss again

Ok. Thank you. That's what I've been doing manually. I was hoping there was a more automated way of deleting the tables than having to delete them myself.

No problem Unfortunately we can't simplify this because it's pretty dangerous to automatically delete tables upon uninstallation
