Manually remove the installed repository subdirectory hierarchy from disk. 2. If the repository included any tools, manually remove entries for each of them from the shed_tool-conf.xml file ( or the equivalent file you have configured for handling installed repositories ) 3. Manually update the database using the following command (assuming your installed repository is named 'bcftools_view' and it is the only repository you have installed with that name) - letter capitalization is required: The following assumes you're using postgres: update tool_shed_repository set deleted=True, uninstalled=True, status='Uninstalled', error_message=Null where name = 'bcftools_view'; > > Galaxy won't let me uninstall, deactivate or update it (because it > can't find it properly) and it won't let me install it (because it > thinks it's installed).
