 # Changelog
 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Fixed
+- Package `postflight` now removes the orphaned `com_component-mokosuitebackup` registration (stray extension record, admin menu items, schema rows, and `administrator/` folder) left behind by the old "Type - Name" component `<name>` — self-healing on update so affected sites reconcile to the real `com_mokosuitebackup`. (#213 follow-up)
