Cannot Remove (uninstall) my Orca Forum

Can Anyone Help?  What do I do?

I tried to uninstall my forums with the intention of reinstalling them later (long story).

However, when I went to remove my forum module I got this error message:

Uninstallation of: Orca Forum Failed

SET @iId = (SELECT `ID` FROM `sys_menu_top` WHERE `Name` = 'Forums' AND `Parent` = 0);

It crapped out when trying to remove the Forums menu item. If you have previously removed that manually you will need to put it back so the uninstaller will run. The error would indicate it could not find it to remove it.

I don't quite understand.  I have tried everything, including uploading all the original forum files to replace the existing ones.  

It appears the forums are only partially removed.   The forum module is still visible in admin: Tools>modules ...but not visible in admin: Modules.

I still get this error message when I try to uninstall the forum module:

Uninstallation of: Orca Forum Failed

SET @iId = (SELECT `ID` FROM `sys_menu_top` WHERE `Name` = 'Forums' AND `Parent` = 0);

Okay, so the menu items are exactly how they were.  The forums are also there in the menu just as they should be.

However, I still cannot remove this module.  I am still getting the same error message.

Are there any suggestions? 

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do/try???

Yea. Your going to have to have someone work on it. Putting the forum links back into the menu should have corrected the problem, so because it has not, there is something else going on that the error is not showing, so most likely it will have to forcibly removed by hand.

Okay, I guess I will have to get somebody to do this for me.  Thanks deano92964.

just open the install file (sql) and you'll see all the entries you have to delete from the DB manually.

I am not too familiar with using phpMyAdmin, and I'm a bit scared I'm gonna screw up my MySQL database which is about 3 years old.  

Any chance you can provide more specific instructions on how to manually remove these entries using phpMyAdmin.

Thanks!

So I went into my database via phpMyAdmin and deleted two mentions of forums in sys_menu_top  ...

However, I am still getting the same error:

Uninstallation of: Orca Forum Failed

SET @iId = (SELECT `ID` FROM `sys_menu_top` WHERE `Name` = 'Forums' AND `Parent` = 0);

that's not gonna work. if you delete some from the db and try to delete it from the admin section.

options.
1 delete from admin and what's left that you need to delete from the db
2. delete all from
