Okay, need help trying to figure out how to disable this module. I can't uninstall it since I can't disable the Media module, and I can't disable it is because drupal (7.22) says there are fields that require it. I tried to remove such a field through the node type editor and got a big fat no no. I created one test content (with the media gallery module which itself is now disabled), removed it and can't see a trace of any other content that might be linked and blocking.
Anyone got any ideas on what I'm not doing right?

ParisLiakos commentedso if you check under
admin/reports/fieldsyou see no Media fields?Comment #3
devin carlson commentedAs ParisLiakos mentioned in #2, you should check the field report page to see if any media fields exist.

tierso commentedWell, I kept looking while waiting for an answer and it seems to be related to this issue:
https://drupal.org/node/1967932
..and no, I had no media fields listed whatsoever (I had previously uninstalled Media gallery and completely removed it). There is the field_tags for Image, Video etc (but it belongs to the Taxonomy module as far as I can see). All the reported fields belong to content types created prior to either Media module was installed.
This is what the module manager reports for Media:
Required by: Drupal (Fields pending deletion), Media Internet Sources (disabled)(I have not installed Media Internet Sources, so I'm guessing it belongs to Media?)
Anyhoo, the question now is, if it's Media and/or Media Gallery bug?

tierso commentedI dunno if I would call the issue fixed btw, but maybe you see the current behaviour as a feature rather than a bug. Ignoring that, after manually disabling the module as per described in https://drupal.org/node/1967932 is it safe to uninstall the module (and not swiss cheese the site in some way)?

ParisLiakos commentedso it seems it is something media gallery does
