Hello support,

I accidentally forgot to uninstall Akeeba 7.5.0.1 before the migration to Jooma 4.

The website is running fine but now i can't uninstall the old version.

The error is: You need Joomla! 4.0.99 or earlier to install this extension

How can i remove the old version?

 

Regards Wim

Delete the files:

  • administrator/manifests/packages/akeeba/script.akeeba.php
  • libraries/fof30/script.fof.php
  • libraries/fof40/script.fof.php
  • media/fef/script.fef.php

Note that some of these files may not exist.

Uninstall the Akeeba Backup 7 package extension (NOT the component extension!).

IMPORTANT! You will lose your backup settings, backup history, and older backup archives when you do that.

Then uninstall the FOF files packages and the FEF files package.
