After updates (D6.17 --> D6.19, contrib mods including Date and Calendar), Content Profile nodes could no longer be edited. They still could be viewed, but trying to edit (or create new one) generated "Page Not Found" error. Also, the core "Add user" functionality likewise produced the 404 error.

After many days of troubleshooting, I have determined that the problem module was either the Date and/or Calendar module (both were the July dev release). When I disabled those two, functionality returned.

TROUBLESHOOTING: On my dev site, I uninstalled the modules (through the module page), deleted the module folders, and deleted all references to those modules in the Systems db table. Then, reinstalled the release version for each. Content Profile and "add user" still work. However, this would require me to recreate all of my custom dates and calendar views.

So, on my dev site, I then imported (precisely, restored through Backup/Migrate module) last night's live site backup and simply reinstalled the Content Profile module, then ran update.php -- so that I'd have my Date & Calendar customization. Dev site now successfully running with release versions of both.

QUESTION: For my live site (in maintenance mode), is it safe to simply delete the Calendar (and Date) module folder and upload the release version folder, then run update.php? In otherwords, the normal process for updating a module, even though I am downgrading the module.

Do I need to delete any references of the module(s) in the System db table or anywhere else?
