Hi,

With uc and ec I would recommend just removing all the tables, or you  
just enable them and uninstall them. But I think if they are running  
v3.x of ec then it may not remove the, With ec you can just drop all  
the tables starting with ec_ and this will get rid of them as well  
uninstalling them.

Moving forward I would recommend that because you are wanting to use  
CiviCRM that you use e-Commerce to provide you store as because ec  
provides support for using CiviCRM contacts as customers, and also in  
the future I am going to provide an interface to allow CiviCRM to use  
e-Commerce payment gateways as so you only need to use 1 piece of code  
to do all payments.

Gordon.
