My stackoverflow answer:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21485630/how-to-uninstall-manually-openerp-module/41760541#41760541

There are two ways
    1.Apply the Patch of my pull request:
            https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/12373.patch (git apply /home/user/patch_file.patch)
    2.Manually:

• Go to Terminal > psql db and Execute the query like: update ir_module_module set state='to remove' where name='module_name' and state='installed';

• Add update_module=True in loading.py before this line > https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/10.0/odoo/modules/loading.py#L378

And run the odoo.py or odoo-bin.
This will uninstall the module properly and safely.

Let me know if face any problem.

It should be possible to uninstall modules programmatically, because then you can script it for automation.

Having to manually log in to a system to perform administrative functions is error prone and tedious for repetitive tasks. In 2014, every GUI operation should have an API command that does the same thing.

I'm scripting an upgrade path for my 6.1 version database and this is making my testing more difficult than it needs to be.

You can uninstall a module using the XML-RPC API.

Here is the script I use for v7 (it probably works in later version too).

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
"""Uninstall a module"""

import xmlrpclib
import argparse
import getpass

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
# Connection args
parser.add_argument('-d', '--database', help="Use DB as the database name",
                    action='store', metavar='DB', default=getpass.getuser())
parser.add_argument('-u', '--user', help="Use USER as the database user name",
                    action='store', metavar='USER', default='admin')
parser.add_argument('-w', '--password',
                    help="Use PASSWORD as the database password.",
                    action='store', metavar='PASSWORD', default='admin')
parser.add_argument('-s', '--url',
                    help="Point to the web services hosted at URL",
                    action='store', metavar='URL',
                    default='http://localhost:8069')
# Feature args
parser.add_argument('module', help="Uninstall the module MODULE",
                    action='store', metavar='MODULE')

args = vars(parser.parse_args())

# Log in
ws_common = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(args['url'] + '/xmlrpc/common')
uid = ws_common.login(args['database'], args['user'], args['password'])
print "Logged in to the common web service."
# Get the object proxy
ws_object = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(args['url'] + '/xmlrpc/object')
print "Connected to the object web service."

# Find the parent location by name
res_ids = ws_object.execute(
    args['database'], uid, args['password'],
    'ir.module.module', 'search', [('name', '=', args['module'])])
if len(res_ids) != 1:
    raise Exception("Search failed")

# Uninstall the module
print "Uninstalling '%s'" % args['module']
ws_object.execute(
    args['database'], uid, args['password'],
    'ir.module.module', "button_immediate_uninstall", res_ids)

print "All done."

• python3.10 ./odoo-bin shell -c xyz.conf -d test_db
  
  
• Search module by using bellow script self.env['ir.module.module'].search([('name','=','module_name')])  then you get the result like "ir.module.module(1060,)"
• Uninstall module using button_immediate_uninstall() function 

self.env['ir.module.module'].search([('name','=','module_name')]).button_immediate_uninstall()

I try in odoo14, To Uninstall Any Module From Terminal - Please Follow those steps:

sudo su postgres

psql db_name

update ir_module_module set state='uninstallable' where name='module_name' and state='installed';

That's it.....Thank you....!!!

You can now do it using odoorpc library.

I've did an example of installation here

https://github.com/maclarensg/odoo_module_install_script,

You probably can modify it to uninstall. 

Very good 👍 ça fonctionne .vous m'avez permis de résoudre un gros problème, thanks thanks thanks

You can use the patch of the Pull request for your own odoo:

https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/12373

Odoo sees this as opening a loophole/vulnerability, so they don't want this feature to be available.

Hello,

I don't think there is a command line to do that. The only option that is supported as far as i know is the Settings -> Apps -> <the module=""> -> Uninstall. In general uninstall is not smart idea... you need to be extra careful.

There is no way to uninstall a module from terminal. You can check the possible options by running
./openerp-server --help in terminal.

Hi,

I think there is no way to uninstall module from command line but temporarily you may cut module(the module you want to uninstall) from your addons path. It is not the best way but atleast it will let you know the issue.
