I attempted to uninstall Simplenews, after disabling the module properly. I then removed it from my modules directory. I am now getting this error message:

orphaned actions (simplenews_cron_action) exist in the actions table. Remove orphaned actions

I tried to re-install it and uninstall it again, but it hasn't fixed it.

Is there some way to manually remove Orphaned Actions?

Shouldn't the Simplenews Module have automatically done this?

I'm running FreeBSD 6.3, Drupal 6.10, MySQL 5.0.75, PHP 5.2.8, Apache 2.2.11.

A modules do not remove content from you website when you uninstall them. The message is a warning to the admin and is not an module error. Unless other modules do remove their actions, I see no reason to change this simplenews behavior.

Unless the admin cannot delete the action, because simplenews_cron_action no longer exists in the action table?

Because that's my case. I cant manually delete that action, because it isnt there, yet watchdog keeps warning me about it. The actions db table has no "simplenews_cron_action" anymore.

Where do I look?

Just log in as the "admin" and go to http://yourwebsite.com/admin/settings/actions/orphan

Oups...

At this point, this issue is going to be marked as won't fix. This is either not in the direction of the project, or too out of the project scope.

you can also do the same as comment #3 with drush:
drush php-eval "actions_synchronize(actions_list(), TRUE);"
