Uninstall

You need an authentication keys for https://repo.magento.com/ to uninstall any Magento 2 module. Go to your Magento Connect account, section (My Account / Connect / Developer / Secure Keys) and generate pair of keys to connect to Magento 2 repository. Then place composer authentication file auth.json besides your composer.json as described here and put your authentication keys for https://repo.magento.com/ into the authentication file:

{
  "http-basic": {
    "repo.magento.com": {
      "username": "...",
      "password": "..."
    }
  }
}

Then run these commands to completely uninstall Flancer32_FixPr9621 module:

$ cd ${DIR_MAGE_ROOT}   
$ bin/magento module:uninstall Flancer32_FixPr9621
$ bin/magento setup:upgrade
$ bin/magento setup:di:compile
$ bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
$ bin/magento cache:clean

Be patient, uninstall process (bin/magento module:uninstall ...) takes about 2-4 minutes. Remove auth.json file at the end:

$ rm ./auth.json
