Deleting modules

[nicoX]

If I uninstall and delete a module in the backend it will remove it from the modules directory. Yet in theme/theme directory there is another modules directory, where some modules reside. Shall I manually delete that module directory as well? 

In theme/theme/CSS/modules, there they are as well.

yes you should; those files are just overrides of the same files from within modules/your_module

Does that go the same for Prestashop modules that I have deleted? That won't make an issue when I update Prestashop or install the module again?

Those files are just overrides; when you install the modules again, they will probably add the files back.

The theme/modules/ files are used to modify the module templates without risking to break the module's files.

Prestashop looks first for the templates in the theme then if not there, it used the module's template.
