Remove an addon

I accidentally deleted some items from a module I'm running and need to remove the addon to add it back so that I can get those items back.  When I looked up how to do this everything simple says to remove that addon from the addon list, but it never says how.  In the youtube video it shows a remove button next to each addon, my addons do not have a remove button next to them on the addon list.  How exactly do I go about getting that button to pop up?  I'd prefer not to have to delete the whole game and start over and I'm not upgrading to roll it back.

Hi Joe! Can you post a screen shot of what you are seeing?

That's what the screen looks like, as far as I can tell no button on that page changes it.  I imagine the fix is quite simple, it just isn't described in any of the easily accessible resources

I just ran some quick tests, since there is no addon called "Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden". It turns out that if you create a game using a module, it lists the module in the list of addons , which is counter-intuitive (I'll report that, for what it's worth). Modules cannot be deleted or added. They are only used at game creation time. So long answer short, you can't delete it, though you could delete the module's contents manually in-game. Back to your original problem. Moving things from one game to another is easy at the Pro level, since you can use the Transmogrifier tool. Depending on the nature of the deletion, this can be anywhere from easy, to very difficult at the Free or Plus level. Characters can be moved via the Character Vault. Handouts can be copied and pasted (though some links may break). Maps and their tokens would be a pain, requiring download and re-upload of map images, and then re-doing dynamic lighting and token placement. If you do wind up re-creating the game, there is no need to delete the old one, however. A game in and of itself takes up no real room on your account. You could have hundreds.
Thank you, interestingly enough Ghosts of Saltmarsh is actually an addon.  I own quite a few modules on roll20 and it's the only one that is an addon, they achieved this by making each chapter its own addon, which is inconvenient when the game is being created because you have to click a bunch of buttons.

This is also the method used for the Yawning Portal adventures, and several others, designed this way so that the short, unconnected adventures can be individually purchased if so desired. The screen shot you posted showed only the module. Are you having a similar problem removing Saltmarsh adventures? The base game module cannot be removed from the game details page, but the adventure addons should be.
Not an issue with that
