Summary

 

Introduction and Sponsorship: Tim Davis introduces the video, sponsored by CyberSalt's Joomla training cohort and mysites.guru.

Removing Test Migration Area: In the backend of your live Joomla 4 site, go to components, select Migrate Me 4, and click "Remove Migration Area" to remove the "mm4" folder and database tables.

Backup Before Removing: Ensure you have a backup of your live site before proceeding with any removal actions.

Manual Removal of Files: If needed, you can manually remove the "mm4" folder and associated tables by accessing the file manager in your web hosting account.

Deleting the "mm4" Folder: Navigate to the root folder of your Joomla installation, locate the "mm4" folder, and delete it.

Deleting the "backups" Folder: Also, delete the "backups" folder if it contains only migration-related backups. Be cautious if it contains other important backups.

Removing "mm4" Tables in phpMyAdmin: Access phpMyAdmin, filter tables with the "mm4_" prefix, and delete them. Be careful not to delete any other tables by mistake.

Handling Large Sites: For large Joomla sites, ensure all "mm4_" tables are filtered and deleted, which may involve paging through multiple lists.

Uninstalling Migrate Me 4: After cleanup, uninstall the Migrate Me 4 extension by going to System > Manage Extensions, filtering for "Migrate Me 4", and clicking "Uninstall".

Conclusion: Tim concludes with final tips, congratulating viewers on their successful migration and advising to subscribe for more Joomla tutorials.
