I'm having problems with taxonomy access control as I noticed that if I disable the module, anonymous users can't access newly created pages anymore. Therefore I'd like to uninstall the module, but how should I do it? I'm no MySQL-guru so step-by-step-advice are greatly appreciated.

I'm using PHPMyAdmin.

Just to clarify: I have tried uninstalling the module by first disabling it and then uninstalling it in Modules page. I have previously used older version of taxonomy_access, maybe something has changed so that uninstall doesn't clear old data completely?

If I disable the module, anonymous users can see old content, but not the content I add after that.

Please comment back if:
'term_access' and 'term_access_defaults' tables exists in database (it should not exist, after doing uninstall)

Manual uninstall:
- First 'DISABLE', 'Taxonomy Access Module' on page:
"Administer >> Site building >> Modules".

- Drop tables 'term_access' and 'term_access_defaults' ;

- Force rebuilding of the permissions cache (table 'node_access'):
"Rebuild permissions" button on page:
"Administer >> Content Management >> Post settings".

Thank you very much! I hadn't realized there is such feature as "Rebuild permissions". After doing that, everything worked beautifully! :)

There wasn't anything wrong with module uninstallation, it dropped tables correctly.
