Hello,

unfortunately, removing an addon is not as simple as adding one.
In this case you have various options:
- (quick&dirty) simply upload the model XML from the FME data list extension addon into the Data Dictionary / Models directory - this re-enables the FME model without requiring the full addon and all existing aspects should work again
- (clean) bootstrap the model XML from the FME data list extension via a custom Spring bean in the tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension directory - this will reenable the model the same as the item above, but allow you to simply remove the custom Spring bean and model again at a later time (the quick&dirty variant means that you may never be able to remove the model again unless you eliminate or clean up all nodes that use that model)
- (quick&extremely dirty, but no need to keep FME model around) remove all the FME data list extension aspects from all nodes via a DB statement - be careful not to delete too much (note that this will also affect any versioned nodes with FME data list extension aspects)

Axel
