What happened to smbplus addon
Hello What happened to smblus? I upgraded the readynas os to 6.9.4, rebooted, logged on the gui, then hit the button to upgrade smbplus to 1.0.8 from 1.0.7. The addon disappreared off the screen with...
Did you try
apt-get --purge remove rsyslog-mysql
Unfortunately the best way to get a clean OS back is to do a factory reset and restore all the data from backup.
Yes I did.

Don't they have a kb or something to step though cleaning things up?
If wiping put all my data and starting from scratch is the answer to fix one lousy addon that wont install/uninstall, this NAS belongs in the garbage.
Maybe try
# export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
# apt-get -yq --purge remove rsyslog-mysql

Paid support (my.netgear.com) can rebuild the OS from scratch w/o data loss, but there is no kb article on how to do that, and I don't know the details.
It would be useful for advanced users if it were documented, although I suspect there would also be less advanced users who would accidentally destroy their data when they attempted it. It'd be better if there was a script or boot menu option to do this (perhaps part of the new safe mode?)
FWIW, in my view the issue here is that that rsyslog install scripts weren't correct to begin with, and the app shouldn't have listed as an available app by Netgear.
