Unintsall should ideally remove all relevant tables and other data from the database. But this is not happening with Paragraphs Library.

I had installed Library initially and then uninstalled it (through the /admin/modules/uninstall interface).

But now when I want to reinstall it, I can't. I get this error message:

Unable to install Paragraphs Library, core.entity_form_display.paragraph.from_library.default, core.entity_view_display.paragraph.from_library.default, paragraphs.paragraphs_type.from_library already exist in active configuration.

On examining through PHPMyAdmin, I see that 'core.entity_form_display.paragraph.from_library.default' for instance has 4 instances (in cachetags, config, config snapshot, key value).

Do note that Paragraphs itself is already installed. And the site (which is live) uses it heavily.

Should I just delete those entries? Or will that cause problems later?

Thanks.

I cannot uninstall Paragraphs Library at all and it's creating a very large database table.

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

After many attempts, I was able to get the uninstall through and now I have this error:

Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginNotFoundException: The "paragraphs_library_item" entity type does not exist. in Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeManager->getDefinition() (line 139 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityTypeManager.php).

This was caused by rabbit hole module still being active for paragraphy library items, so to fix it, search and replace paragraph library items in your config

Merged.

Not sure what #2/3 is about, but if that can be reproduced that will require a new issue.

My installed “paragraphs_library” was somehow faulty. When I tried to uninstall it, I got “The ‘paragraphs_library_item’ entity type does not exist” as in #3.
After transferring the data structure of the 4 missing tables from another installation, I was able to successfully uninstall and reinstall.
Can we make the uninstall-process more robust ?
