  • Select the Uninstall checkbox next to the module name and click the Uninstall button. CKEditor for Drupal will now be removed from your Drupal site.


important note

Please note that the uninstallation process removes the CKEditor for Drupal module along with all its database tables and settings. It does not, however, remove the module files. If you want to completely remove the files from your server, you will need to delete them manually from the drupal/sites/all/modules/ckeditor directory.

If you do not want to delete the module files and its configuration, you can simply disable the module. In this way you will turn CKEditor off for your Drupal website, but will preserve the editor settings, making it easier to turn it on again if you wish to do so in the future.
