@JLTRY I have found a piece of code that exists for over 12 years that prevents the installation of the attachments extension if the folders of the component already exist.
I actually can't think of a reason to prevent this installation from proceeding if we are not deleting any data either from the database or from the file attachments folder. However I can think of a reason that we should not prompt the user to uninstall the extension. During uninstallation of the extension the /attachments folder that holds all attachment files is deleted that could result in data loss.
I will keep this PR in draft until I finish testing all install scripts to add any more fixes that are needed.
