Hi,

There is no easy method to remove everything.
You need to do it manually:
- uninstall HikaShop
- delete the hikashop_ tables via phpmyadmin
- delete the menu items of HikaShop via the Joomla menu manager
- delete the modules of HikaShop via the Joomla modules manager
- uninstall the plugins of HikaShop via the Joomla extensions manager
- delete the folders media/com_hikashop and images/com_hikashop
That should remove everything

Really? You couldn't bother to write a clean way to uninstall you? Not surprising...

Hi,

We make it hard to remove not because we don't want you to not use HikaShop once you installed it, but because we don't want people loosing their settings, their data, their images or files that took them hours or days to setup in HikaShop just because they made a mistake and clicked too fast on a button.
You would be surprised how often it happens otherwise.
