I experimented with Frigate on a camera. Then I removed it via the GUI. I removed the addon, I removed the Integration, and deleted any panels I setup. Nothing in the GUI that refers to it.
Why do I still get requests to update it?
How do I fully delete all traces of Frigate?
I want to stop being asked to update something that is not now on my HA. What else do I need to track down and delete?
Okay… more hunting. I find config\custom_components\frigate\ full of stuff. How to remove? Do I just delete the folder? Anywhere else I need to look?
Grep is your friend here.
Yes, you can probably safely delete the frigate folder in custom_components.
Make a full backup just in case I am wrong. Try renaming the folder to custom_components/xfrigate then restart. If everything appears to still work, delete xfrigate.
I just did a grep of all of the configuration folder to see where “frigate” appeared.
I would not touch the database- too much opportunity to really screw things up.
A pile of misleading stuff from .storage (in hacs is a list of stuff I could install…) but also clearly relevant items in www/community/ as I find cards in here I clearly don’t need. (frigate-hass-card, sip-hass-card)
Removing things as a noob who don’t fully understand the layout is daunting, but your tip is really useful. With a backup to hand I am getting the flame thrower out now for some hack and slay.
Best way to learn anything is to break it and then repair it.
Just been notified of a new “Frigate Card Update” for something I have deleted now in various ways. Even got a warning to “You need to manually clear the frontend cache after updating.” but have no idea where that cache would be.
Maybe there is a tool to list the content of this HA database that insists I still have these items?
Under HACS I have found and Integration and Device that allows me to disable but not delete… this may stop nagging for updates, but why can’t I just delete it?
