Minion won't delete/edit addons
Hi all. So I've been dealing with the issue stated in the title for a couple of months now but didn't realize this is what was happening until recently. Let me explain. So my minion for the most part works as intended in that it detects the game, detects the addon directory as well as any addons contained within, and it also can add addons to the directory. A while back, I posted in the Addons/Support forum thread because I had an issue where addons weren't working properly and at the time, I had believed it to be some sort of addon conflict or issue. Well as I mentioned, I recently realized this is actually an issue with my minion and how it is modifying (or trying to) addons.
The easiest situation to explain is say for instance when I delete and addon via minion. I go to the addon, right click, and hit uninstall. It should be that simple, right? Well, in my minion at that immediate moment, everything looks fine as the addon is no longer on the list. But if I go in game, the addon is still there. If I reload minion, the addon reappears and is still there. This made me curious and check the addon directory itself only to see that the addon is still there after deleting via minion. This is strange and I asked a friend to delete an addon via minion while watching the addon within their directory. As expected, when they deleted the addon via minion, the addon in their directory was also deleted. So why doesn't mine do this?
This all leads into an even more important issue that is kind of annoying at this point, updating and maintaining addons. My Minion is still keeping track that addons need to be updated and lets me know when a new update is available. However, I cannot tell if all my addons are updating properly via minion when I click "Install Update." Some addons will tell me outright that something isn't right and that I need to reinstall (Thank you code's combat alerts! This is the addon that made me more aware of this issue), some addons will keep working as before but run on whatever update I had installed before (Noticed this with Pithkas achievement tracker. Since the new update came out, I was noticing the new trial not being added to my pithkas even though I "intalled" the new update for it), and some addons will just not work anymore. So whatever is going on with my minion in the background I would like to fix and I have no idea how at this point. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I tried making minion redetect the addon folder and the game. I tried looking through the settings within minion, but they seem very limited and I couldnt find anything that could help with this.
I can still add addons via minion just fine and it always downloads with the latest patch. What I've been doing as a workaround for my issues with addons is delete via minion and manually within the directory, then download the latest patch via minion. This is kind of annoying and defeats the purpose of having an addon manager. Any help would be appreciated to fix this issue, thank you for your time.
