I have a challenge with Album Module once installed and uninstalled. It's no longer on the Studio Icons but still having traces in a module like Pages. Now I want to reinstall and but it's still appearing as Installed in Downloaded Page so could not be reinstalled. How do I clean it up for a fresh installation.

First, make a backup of your database. There is a SQl folder in the albums module. Open disable.sql and enter the command in the database. Then open uninstall.sql and enter the command in the database. Then clear Cache in Studio and you should have a clean database. Then try installing the module again. I hope this helped..
Please let me understand "enter the command in the database"
Do you mean I should run the entire SQL command content in the database?
Yes, exactly, copy the entire content and run it in the correct order. Unfortunately, I don't know what database application you are using, so I can't help you any further. I have PHPMyAdmin, for example.
Thanks, I use phpmyadmin.
I ran the disable.sql followed by the uninstall.sql and the latter indicated that the tables were not in the database. So I checked manually and discovered no Album tables in the database but there is Album inside Modules folder.
So I backed up the Album folder and then deleted it, that gave me a fresh chance to download the Album module from the App Store. My surprise however is that the newly downloaded Album appears INSTALLED even when I am yet to install. It's weird.
It has not been installed but appearing INSTALLED in the Downloaded App interphase. What can I try again?
Interesting, some data from the Albums module must have remained in the database during the uninstallation. You can still search the database manually and delete everything related to Albums, but if you don't know what you're doing, it's better to leave it to someone more experienced. Wait for @LeonidS , he'll be happy to help you, he's very knowledgeable!
Hello @DeDiary !
It seems you need to apply this solution https://unacms.com/cmts-view/1r3jrgn?sys=bx_forum&cmt_id=32622 but save all touched tables there. Then delete the record about albums form the sys_modules table.
Thanks, it worked
