How do I uninstall an extension?

[rikabi89]

I installed https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet when it first came out using the install from URL option. This was probably a bad idea as it was not capable or at least wasn't at the time.

Now I have the correct version installed. I think the old version is conflicting. How can I get rid of ControlNET. There is no uninstall option

I get this error when I try to use the ControlNet option in img2img.

I'm pretty sure you can just go into the "extensions" folder and delete the directory manually.

[rikabi89]

Thank you I got rid of the old extension. But still have the above error.

[Mahdigouadria7]

did you get a solution ?

[Kilvoctu]

Sometimes when deleting extensions, I notice stuff gets left behind in the venv file that can cause issues. You can try to dig in there to find the cause, but personally I just delete the whole venv folder and let Web UI remake it.

[rikabi89]

Same issue unfortuntely. Maybe I should just do a clean install of Automatic

[arafatx]

Wow, so finally this is the answer; to reinstall everything for removing a single extension (Bing AI also reference to this post).

[espritdautomne]

That's the magic of Automatic1111. A broken, half baked, piece of garbage.

[freecoderwaifu]

Delete the extension from the Extensions folder

In case an extension installed dependencies that are causing issues, delete the venv folder and let the webui-user.bat remake it

Sometimes extensions can leave behind additional stuff inside the models folder, it usually doesn't cause issues but it can leave behind unused models that will just take up space.

Since extensions can add their own entries to the Settings page, sometimes they could also be causing issues, so deleting their entries in both config.json and ui-config.json could also help. You can also just delete those files altogether and let the UI remake them, though that will reset all settings to default.

If issues are still present, then a full reinstall might be better

this worked thank you

This is a ridiculous and unacceptable limitation, these bloated, half baked applications are buggy, unpredictable and unreliable and are always ready to be rendered unusable when installing an extension, it's a risky roll of the dice every time you do. And no way to remove extensions? Especially after one breaks the entire UI? Instead of using the app to produce barely usable assets, which is very time consuming, if the app breaks, all you can do is spend hours reinstall the entire thing hopefully to the last working state you remember?

[Loly-Pop]

Exactly.... and when you do all the step they said.... you allways hace a probleme. You try to fallow the step from a youtuber.... same issue..... like me...... every one have the ''yalm'' file in their ''extensions\sd-webui-controlnet\models'' but not me.... they have also 2 kind of model ''
control_v11e_sd15_ip2p_fp16.yam'' and ''control_v11e_sd15_ip2p.yaml'' so witch one should I take ???? For my part...... I did the step theu said to use ''Lycoris''.... and then,,,,, the terminal tell me tath I need to uninstall this package..... for me.... it's turnig in real JOKE !!!!!! I have 40 year old and I never had problem with software like tath before...... and I don't care it's an open source........ They should put a stop and fix or refine their structure. Because, the way they are going..... it's like Microsoft......... A BIG PEACE OF SHIT :P and now..... I have so many error in my terminal when I open ''SD''.

[Hapseleg]

Just make a backup of your venv folder before installing "bloated, half baked applications"

[UnconnectedBedna]

They are not only that, they are, checking notes, "A BIG PEACE OF SHIT".. xD

[F370N]

Maybe you should request a refund.

I mean to be honest I haven't seen something open source blow up this big since p2p in the 90's this even eclipses docker numbers . Everyday there are new models improved models new tools improved tools. It use to take me days to make 12 pictures that resembled each other enough to make a gif. now in a mater of hours I can have 2 min clip at 30 Fps and with a little post processing it looks great. Soon I might be able to make a short 3 min clip at 60 fps with a prompt with no post processing . Honestly what ever they are doing its working everyday a new paper pushing the envelope and its all free .

[UnconnectedBedna]

This is a very good take.
I am brand new to SD but have been using open source quite some time. I think a lot of the "frustrations" is exactly what you pinpoint here. There is also most likely a LOT of people who are not used at all to an environment like this, coming from windows where everything is expected to be tailor made.

BUT, and this is a big but. It would be great with a little documentation about these things. (or maybe I just can't find it)
I have no problem uninstalling manually, if there are clear documentation of it.
Like: "remove your plugin from X, delete references in file x, y and z config files, remove "more stuff",and THEN start SD.

I just deleted the folder in extension, and it worked. Ironically the Nvida Tensor extension kept breaking my install w/ a RTX 4070 ti Super. https://github.com/NVIDIA/Stable-Diffusion-WebUI-TensorRT I guess you pay for their hardware and not their software support..

[SteveinJersey]

A +1 to the recommendation to simply delete the desired folder for the given extension from the Extensions folder. I've done this a couple of times without incident. But I also take an additional step to identify and remove any other possible changes/modifications that might have been made during the installation of the no longer desired extension. I make a backup copy of the entire sd.webui folder on another drive which I routinely update with the free file copy/synchronization program 'FreeFileSync.' The great thing about FreeFileSync is that it utilizes a two step process in syncing up the active and backup copies. The first step is simply to generate a complete folder by folder and file by file comparison of the two copies. The vast majority of the time my objective is to update the backup copy to the same exact state as the active copy, So in that case I mirror the backup to the active copy. But on the very infrequent occasions when I might want to revert to the prior version, I simply reverse the process and mirror the active to the backup. That approach has worked for me for a variety of applications.
