- # 15857
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Joomla 3.7.0
- Create a Banner module in module manager.
- Go to Extensions > Manage > Manage
- Disable extension "Banner - Module"
- Go to module manager.
- Try to trash the Banner module for deletion in next step. Not possible in list view but if you open the module and set Status = Trashed.
- In list view set Status filter: Trashed
- Try to delete the module (Empty trash). Still not possible.
Expected result
- It should be possible
a) to change Status of modules to trashed in list view
b) to delete trashed modules
even if module extension is disabled.

Maybe an expected behavior but an obstructive and not logical one.
If I delete a banner module in module manager the extension itself doesn't participate anyhow. At least a deletion should be possible if the module is trashed already.
I simply don't understand the sense of this blockage and why Joomla is forcing a single workflow while purging a system. What "catastrophe" could happen when I delete a module of an disabled extension compared with an enabled one?
A simple info like we see it already would be sufficient.

i am closing this for the reason stated by @PhilETaylor above. The module clearly display as being disabled and how to enable it if needed
I would say this is expected behaviour.
Disabling an extension should disable all its use.
