Joomla - getting rid of the 'Error loading Modules:' error message

For some reason I'd started getting his message on my websites

Error loading Modules:

to get rid of it I need to open up the mysql database for the website in MyPHPadmin and I deleted all the unused Modules from the table 'jos_modules'

the error message is now gone :))


Just incase i've deleted something I needed heres the entries I deleted.

mod_popular
mod_latest
mod_quickicon
mod_feed
mod_autocanonical
mod_vmproductslideshow
mod_gtranslate
mod_metamod
mod_smartbookmarker


the delete instructions

DELETE FROM `database`.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 3;
DELETE FROM `database``.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 4;
DELETE FROM `database``.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 9;
DELETE FROM `database``.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 42;
DELETE FROM `database``.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 61;
DELETE FROM `database``.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 95;
DELETE FROM `database``.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 125;
DELETE FROM `database``.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 143;
DELETE FROM `database``.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 133;
DELETE FROM `database``.`jos_modules`

WHERE `jos_modules`.`id` = 135;

and i've kept a backup at backup/july/jos_modules.sql
