Hey everyone,
Just wanted to say thanks in advance for the help! I was going over my Drupal profile area when I noticed a strange input field. I seem to have an area called
----
Last.fm and/or Twitter Integration
If you want to send your listening information to last.fm or twitter.com enable this and enter your login credentials.
----
and I have no modules installed that use this. Also it does not seem to connect to anything in the profile field. It looks like an artifact from an uninstalled module but I can't figure out which one. I did quite a few searches and came up with nothing. I was hoping someone could tell me how to get rid of this as I have no use for it.
Once again thank you for your help. Any input will be much appreciated!

look in administer -> profiles is the field there? can it be deleted?

That's the problem its not a field. It looks like it was added by a module, it even has a border around it and clicking the title allows it to be collapsed. Is there any way for me to find out where the profile page is pulling its data?

If you can add information into it, it is a field. If its not in adminsiter -> profiles its not supplied by the profile.module
data for profiles is in the user table I'd think.
If a module was disabled and removed the field shoudl have been removed. Either theres an issue with an uninstall routine or the module was deleted before it was disabled.
what happens if information is enetered into the field and the profile saved?
are they core profiles or expanded by a contrib module like content profile?
have you checked to see if its something stuck in the tpl.php file (if a custom or altered tpl.php is in use)?
I tried switching themes to
I tried switching themes to one i haven't modified and the fields were still there. They don't show up in the user table in mysql and when data is entered it stays but i don't see many changes to the site. The only thing abnormal about data entry is it does not asterisk passwords that are entered. Was there any point when Drupal added last.fm or twitter support natively?
I think in this case I might have installed a module that did not work and caused a white page. Then I just deleted the module folder instead of uninstalling it. Do you know of any modules that support last.fm and twitter? I could try reinstalling it then uninstalling it properly. The closest thing I found was the twitter integration module and that adds a whole other tab to the user profile. I could have an old version of it perhaps?

no. though there are/were lastfm and twitter modules in the repo.
If the site was born previous to Drupal 6.x i suppose it could be old module static. Have you done a search on the DB for "twitter" or "lastfm" to try and locate where it's coming from?
Have you done a FULL search on the entire file system for "twitter" or "lastfm" to see if it's embedded in a file somewhere other than the tpl.php files?
viewing the source of the rendered page may provide a clue or two as well.
To me it didn't look like
To me it didn't look like there were any indicators of module use in the code. The source of the part of the page where the boxes show up did not appear to have any relation to anything else. Also this site is a post 6.x so its not a bad module from 5 or anything.
I'm including a link to a picture of the offending box.

Also how should I go about searching for remnants of this module (if it is one)?
=-=
it's a fieldset
you can use phpmyadmin to search the database
you can use most any text editor to search files and/or in them.
I'd use a search term like last.fm or twitter and search the code base. The file that it is found it should provide the clues on how to remove it.
