Uninstalling module is not completely uninstalling

After uninstalling the module, I notice that 'blog post' remains present on the list of content types.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I started modifying the user blog post view when Drupal admin suddenly started acting funny (buttons stopped working), and suddenly visiting my site showed an error message and wouldn't display. I tried deleting the modified view to no avail and instead uninstalled the Blogs module: fortunately my site came back up, but now I can't reinstall the Blogs module because I'm getting this "already exists in active configuration" error.

Update: Learned a few things today and was able to reinstall blog module successfully. If you have drush installed, you can show all the items presently in the active configuration using command drush config-install.

You can see in the list all blog-related items that were not removed during the uninstall (and thus remain in "active configuration"). You can then individually remove them using the drush command config-delete. So for example, the error said that "core.entity_form_display.node.blog_post.default" was still in the active configuration, so I used command drush config-delete core.entity_form_display.node.blog_post.default.

There are alternative methods. You can use drush php and then execute the command Drupal::configFactory()->getEditable('config.item.you.wanna.get.rid.of')->delete(); for each item you wish to delete. You apparently can also use the new "Drupal Console" project, which is a Drupal CLI similar to drush that also has a config:delete command.

After removing all blog items from the active configuration, I was able to enable the blog module again. Hope this helps anyone else facing the same issue.

Patch for fixed this problem. Please, check up.

Two comments:

If you already uninstalled the module before applying the patch though, you have to manually remove the blog_post content type before you are able to reinstall it.

And I also had to remove the Blog menu entries in the Admin Toolbar menu (https://www.drupal.org/project/admin_toolbar contrib module) from Add Content and Structure/Content Types via devel module.

Still the same problem.

Unable to install Blog, field.storage.node.field_blog_comments, field.storage.node.field_blog_tags already exist in active configuration.

How could I delete these 2 fields manually?

Please test 3.x version and write feedback.

I am experiencing this as well. I have version composer require 'drupal/blog:^3.0' but it will not uninstall completely and I cannot install it as well. Please help. Thank you.
