Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I have just upgraded to version 7.x-4.4
I am trying to uninstall and reinstall the webform module via the admin interface, but keep getting hit with the error below upon reinstall:
DatabaseSchemaObjectExistsException: Table webform already exists. in DatabaseSchema->createTable() (line 657 of /opt/www/prdA/includes/database/schema.inc).
I am wondering if backup of the database and then drop the effected Webform's table is the only way to fully remove the module.

I'm not sure what version you updated from, but if you have a backup, I'd revert to that, plus whatever version of webform was in effect at the time. Then update webform and visit update.php, or better install drush and use 'drush update webform' to both download the new version and run updatedb.
