Computop Module - in DB eav_attribute & sales_order_status remains after uninstall - how to remove?

Question

I have found that under the admin/customer/edit -> Address the bottom field is called computop_checked_address_hash and is required.

However, the Module - Official Computop Payment Module - is not installed, but it must have been at some point in the past before I had to manage the store.

I've tried to reinstall and deinstall the module, but the field remains. I've not found any occurrences of `computop´ in the files (using a grep search), but in the db it is in two tables:

• eav_attribute - 2 fields - computop_risk_check & computop_checked_address_hash
• sales_order_status - 3 fields - ready_computop_capture, waiting_auth_computop_note & waiting_capture_computop_note

How can I get rid of this? Is it safe to remove without breaking the store?

I'm running Magento CE 1.8.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When removing custom modules, Magento does not remove the attributes and config setup by these modules itself. You have to do this yourself. I would suggest you setup a custom module which has a Magento SQL setup script that simply uses the remove attribute code.

$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->removeAttribute('customer','computop_checked_address_hash');
$installer->endSetup();
