Remove Extension Files

Removing files instruction depends on the way Blog extension has been installed in.

1. If you can find the extension files in the folder

app/code/Magefan/Blog
app/code/Magefan/BlogPlus
app/code/Magefan/BlogAuthor
app/code/Magefan/BlogAuthor
app/code/Magefan/BlogImport

then remove these folders.

2. If the extension was installed via the composer and its files located in the folder

vendor/magefan/module-blog

then run composer CLI command to remove it

composer remove magefan/module-blog*

Once extension files have been removed, run these Magento CLI commands:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento cache:flush

Note: if you don't want your website to be down during deployment, try these zero downtime deployment commands for Magento 2.

Remove Extension Data (optional)

Attention! This will clean all blog data, including blog posts, categories, tags, configurations, etc.

1. Just in case please make a full backup (dump) of your Magento 2 database.

2. Run next MySQL queries to remove the blog data. E.g. you can use phpMyAdmin for this purpose.
