How to remove tcpdf from Components in Joomla admin panel?

Question

A while ago in this thread here:

https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=126403.0

GJC Web Design described the way to get rid of "Virtuemart aio" empty menu item in Joomla's "Components" menu by doing this in the database:

SELECT * FROM `jos_menu` WHERE `link` LIKE '%allinone%' 

Now my question is... what SQL query is necessary to remove "tcpdf" empty entry from Joomla's "Components" menu?

Answer 1

TCPDF can usually be removed using the normal uninstall process in extension manager:

I don't think there are normally any menu options associated with TCPDF but if there were, these could be removed like this or similar:

DELETE FROM `jos_menu` WHERE `title` LIKE '%tcp%'

More likely is a remaining entry in the extensions table which could be removed as follows:

DELETE FROM `jos_extensions` WHERE `name` = 'TCPDF'

Note: If necessary, update the prefix from "jos" in the above commands to the prefix you are using.

Answer 2

For those who need to know how: Here's the code:

SELECT * FROM `jos_menu` WHERE `title` LIKE '%tcp%'
