Hello,

On a site that's already successfully migrated to Joomla 4 and running Akeeba 9, does it do any good/harm to run MagicEraser? I ask because I converted about 10 sites and I'm not 100% sure I ran it on all when still at J3.

Thanks,
DAS

It has only been designed for and tested on Joomla 3. It shouldn't break anything on J4 but please take a backup before running it. Do note that you are expected to see an “Extension Install: Custom install routine failure” message and an “Error installing file” message when using MagicEraser.
