First let me say that I am total Drupal newbie. I'm trying to help a client out on a site he inherited. We have a site cachristmas.com that is running Drupal 6 and had Public Download Count (PDC) installed. I suspected that PDC was interfering with Google Analytics tracking PDF downloads, and while researching that issue I noticed that PDC hasn't been supported for awhile due to a security issue.

So I disabled PDC, then uninstalled the module, and then deleted the pubdlcnt directory following the directions here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2145671

But now if I click on a PDF link, it still shows the format using PDC, for example:

http://www.cachristmas.com/sites/all/modules/pubdlcnt/pubdlcnt.php?file=...

The link returns a 404 because the file pubdlcnt.php doesn't exist.

I've tried rebuilding the link, clearing my browser cache, clearing the Drupal cache, all to no effect.

What else do I need to do to make PDC go away?

Try flushing all the Drupal caches.

As mentioned in my first post, I had flushed the Drupal caches. I tried both from the admin menu, and also doing it through phpmyadmin. Flushing the cache didn't have any effect. Is there some other cache I could be missing?

I also edited the page content and I see the updated content when I do that, so that seems to rule out that I'm getting a cached page.

I just did a text search for pubdlcnt after deleting the pubdlcnt directory, and zero results were found.

It was being cause by a file path rewrite on the page.
