Details:
SE Extension Cleaner is a site audit and cleanup tool for Joomla 5 and 6. It scans your entire site — components, modules, plugins, database tables, and extension files — and gives you a clear, scored breakdown of what is actively in use, what is likely unused, and what needs your attention.
Over time, Joomla sites accumulate leftover extensions, orphaned database tables from improperly removed software, and broken file references that slow things down and create upgrade risks. SE Extension Cleaner audits all of this in one place, scores each item by confidence level, and lets you disable, drop, or export directly from the results.
Joomla sites also accumulate ghost extensions — components, plugins, and modules that were partially removed or had their files deleted but still linger in the database. Joomla's built-in uninstaller cannot remove these because it tries to delete files that no longer exist, and fails with a "Path is not a folder" error.
SE Extension Cleaner's Force Uninstall feature solves this. It identifies extensions whose files are genuinely missing from disk and lets you cleanly remove all their database entries in one click — the extension record, admin menu items, module instances, update sites, and schema versions. If the extension was part of a package, any orphaned package records are automatically cleaned up too.
Every destructive action is protected by automatic SQL backups, so nothing is permanent until you are sure. The built-in action log tracks every change made through the tool, and the full PDF audit report gives you a professional document you can hand to a client or keep for your records. Whether you are preparing a site for a major Joomla upgrade, handing a project over to a new developer, or simply keeping things tidy, SE Extension Cleaner gives you the audit data and the tools to act on it — safely.
