How to permanently delete an extension? issue from May 2023 version
Hi,
We have recently upgraded to Qlik Sense enterprise on Windows May 2023 version.
After year 2020 Qlik's "qlik-multi-kpi" had horizontal alignment issues with "qsSimpleKPI" (https://github.com/alner/qsSimpleKPI) extension. Since the "qsSimpleKPI" developer stopped working on fixes, we had to remove Qlik's "qlik-multi-kpi" extension that comes with the upgrade and install the old version (before year 2020 version). This is what we have been doing for past 2 years without an issue.
However, in Qlik Sense May 2023 version, deleting (and reinstalling older version of "qlik-multi-kpi") an extension through QMC is not fixing the problem. Because when the server reboots, we are ending up with latest (year 2023) "qlik-multi-kpi" extension.
Is there a way to delete and prevent the extension from reinstalled after the Qlik server reboot? Thank you.
@Mr_Pearl Unfortunately not, you install the whole bundle or nothing at all. But as I said, you should be able to reimport the extensions you need in the QMC from the bundle manually after uninstalling the bundle.

Which version of Qlik Sense were you previously running ?
The mechanism of reinstalling automatically the Qlik Bundled extensions deleted at service restart has been in the product since a really long time, so I am a bit surprised you haven't run into this behavior before.
The only workaround I can think about is export the bundled extensions that you need, remove completely the Qlik Bundled extension package (from control panel > Programs and Features), then just reimport the extensions you need from the bundled in the QMC.
Best regards,

Hi @Damien_V previously we were running Qlik sense Enterprise on Windows May 2022 version. Is there a option to not upgrade particular (Multi-KPI) extension during Qlik Sense object bundle upgrade?
