# PLUGIN_HOOK_CHANGED_TABLES

A plugin's `onUninstall` dropped, renamed or replaced a table its DOWN migrations were to drop.

## Cause

A plugin's `onUninstall` dropped, renamed or replaced a table its DOWN migrations were to drop.

A full uninstall reads each table's identity before and after the plugin's `onUninstall`. A table its DOWN migrations were to drop was dropped, renamed or replaced while the hook ran, so none of the DOWN migrations ran: they would have dropped whatever now holds that name, while the original and its rows survived under another.

## Fix

* Put the original table back under its name, in place of any table created there.
* Then run `nextly plugins uninstall <name>` again.

## Example

```text
✗ seo_redirects was dropped, renamed or replaced while @acme/seo's onUninstall ran (its boot included), so none of its DOWN migrations, which were to drop it, was run.
  Why:  A full uninstall reads each table's identity before and after the plugin's `onUninstall`, so its DOWN migrations never drop a table the hook put in place of the one they were judged against.
  Next: Put the original table back under its name, in place of any table created there, then run the uninstall again.
