First of all, I am pretty sure this is not a problem with image.module per se, but I am also not sure where the right place to go for help for this issue would be, so feel free to move this to the correct issue queue.

Long story short: I decided to move from image.module to image field, but to keep the same note type name. I did this by adding an imagefield to the image node type, migrated the data and then I uninstalled image.module and created a new "image" content type.

It all worked out well, except for the old description for the image node type remains and I am not sure where the node overview page is pulling the data from as I have updated it in the content types overview screen, the description can be seen as updated in the node_types table and I have cleared the cache multiple times from admin/settings/performance.

Moreover, image.module is no longer on the server, so it can't be pulling the description from the disabled module.

Any ideas where I should look?

Try clearing the cache with devel module or admin_menu. Those might clear caches that the performance page doesn't.
Beyond that, given everything you've tried, I am stumped!

I have used the devel module to clear the caches and that does not fix it. If required, I can give you admin login on an old localhost copy of the site?

Try debug statements in node.admin.inc and see what data you're getting from and where.

I have tracked this down to the menu links table which has the values:

'navigation', 137, 11, 'node/add/image', 'node/add', 'Image', 'a:1:{s:10:"attributes";a:1:{s:5:"title";s:83:"An image (with thumbnail). This is ideal for publishing photographs or screenshots.";}}', 'system', 0, 0, 0, 0, -45, 2, 1, 11, 137, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

What is the best way to reset this? I have used the "Rebuild menus" in the devel menu link with this being fixed.

I've just repeated your steps as I understand them:

- install image
- create some nodes
- disable image
- create an image content type via the node type UI and give it my own description

My new description appears everywhere I expect it to, including the entry for node/add/image in the {menu_links} table.

I can only suppose you encountered some weird DB glitch which you'll have to fix by hand.

Just as a further information post in case anyone else has this problem - I had moved the menu item and since it was "modified", that is what was causing the problem so if anyone has the same, you may need to reset the menu item on the menu admin page.

Thanks for helping me track down and fix it.
