Preparing for J4, the update checker lists several Akeeba files with no compatibility information. Perhaps some are left over from older versions. Please advise which of these should be deleted before the upgrade:

Akeeba Backup Notification Module  v3.4.3

AkeebaStrapper   File  rev699A630-1420553182

AkeebaStrapper   File  revAA17947

System - One Click Action  Plugin  2.1  (Is this an Akeea plugin?)

System - Admin Tools Update Email   Plugin  1.0

PLG_CONSOLE_AKEEBABACKUP  7.5.0.1

 

In addition, which of the FOF libraries are needed?

FOF  2.1.1

FOF  2.4.3

F0F (NEW) DO NOT REMOVE  revAA17947

FOF30  3.3.9

file_fof40  4.1.3

Thanks in advance

We covered that last year :) Please read https://www.akeeba.com/news/1747-joomla-4-is-around-the-corner.html and use the MagicEraser tool linked to towards the bottom of the article.

My bad. I missed that. MagicEraser is brilliant and fast.

We are left with 3 Akeeba files for which Joomla Update can't find compatibility info:

Akeeba Strapper (File) revAA17947
FOF (Library) 2.1.1
PLG_CONSOLE_AKEEBABACKUP (Plugin) 7.5.0.1

Cheers

Akeeba Strapper (File) revAA17947 — This can be removed.

FOF (Library) 2.1.1 — This is an ancient version of FOF (it became deprecated in May 2015 and End of Life in June 2016) which is shipped with Joomla 3. You cannot remove it until after you upgrade to Joomla 4.

PLG_CONSOLE_AKEEBABACKUP (Plugin) 7.5.0.1 — This is just a leftover record without files. That's why it cannot be removed. You can track it down in the database (the #__extensions table) and remove it manually if you find it annoying.
