Description
I planed to use content access module to control access to premium content.
I finally ended up with ubercart ant contemplates. I deactivated content access module, and it still messes up with my permissions. For example, when its OFF no user except from admin, is allowed to access page content. When I turn content access module ON it works like supposed. Is there a way to completely uninstall? It seems to me there is some sort of permission table still in database. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Probably I had to reset the permissions cache in /admin/content/node-settings. It seems to work now

There should be a warning before installing this module.
1.- After installed, it simply didn't work for older posts.
2.- It took me a while to find out the module author included a new button under admin/content/node-settings (this is not in the documentation) that rebuilds the entire permissions cache, first by taking all privs away (!!) then rebuilding them. But clicking that button goes to a 404 page not found error because the path is absolute instead of relative, probably.
3.- Going to admin/content/ alone will give a fatal error (memory allocation). Quite a few pages give me this error.
4.- Trying to uninstall this module gives me a zero bytes reply fatal error, and it won't uninstall.
So, I'm in trouble now. Several pages on my site give me fatal error, and I can't uninstall. A warning should be posted.

@fableforge: read the readme and the warning about big sites... Else rebuilding permissions at /admin/content/node-settings helps.
