Hello,

I have uninstalled some problematic third party apps and I have completely removed them from all addons directories. After refreshing the app list, logically, I would expect that they would no longer appear in the apps list. Yet they still do. 

As I do not want anyone going back in and trying to reinstall them - and subsequently reimplementing the problems. They need to removed from the list entirely.

Does anyone know how can I remove all reference to them entirely in odoo?

I'm using V17 but have noticed this behaviour in 16 and 15 - and it occurs on odoo.sh and on on-prem servers. 

The second big side affect is the issues they cause when attempting to upgrade.

Thank you.

Hi,
You can filter uninstalled module using the search view option in the apps menu and switch to list view and delete all the uninstalled apps at once, even default modules. Then click update app list, now only apps present in the path will be shown.

* Filter uninstalled apps
* from tree view, delete all uninstalled apps
* remove unwanted modules from the addons path
* restart the service and click update apps list

Thanks

Thank you Niyas. That does solve the issue.
Logically, I would have expected the list refresh to do look through the addons an only display modules which are available and remove any that are not.
This seems like an oversight.
