Uninstall failed: %s

Error message

Uninstall failed: %s

What it means

Wraps any non-nil error returned by bazaar.UninstallPackage(installPath). The install path was resolved successfully (so the package exists), but the physical removal failed. Conf.Language(47) is the localized 'Uninstall failed: %s' template; the underlying cause is interpolated.

Solutions

1. Close SiYuan / stop the kernel so file handles release, then retry the uninstall.
2. Inspect the wrapped error string for the OS-level cause (permission, sharing violation, ENOSPC).
3. Manually remove the directory under data/<pkgType>/<DirName> and clear the cached package info.
4. Restart the kernel and retry once, to rule out a transient lock.

info, err := os.Stat(installPath)
if err != nil {
    // already gone; nothing to uninstall
    return nil
}

err = model.UninstallPackage(pkgType, name)
if err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), Conf.Language(47)) {
    // likely a transient file lock; release handles and retry once
    time.Sleep(200 * time.Millisecond)
    err = model.UninstallPackage(pkgType, name)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Files in the install directory are open or locked (common on Windows when the kernel holds a handle); the data folder is on a read-only or full filesystem; the plugin is currently loaded and its files are mapped; the install directory was partially deleted out of band.

Common situations: Windows file locking during plugin uninstall; mobile storage permission denial; NFS/network share glitches; corrupted or half-removed package directory left behind by a prior failed uninstall.
