Yes, but....

First you should back up your data base and you should only remove IH from the database if you're uninstalling the mod altogether.

Note: If you're having other problems in your admin, there may be more going on than just your troubles with IH.

To remove IH from your database, log in to your cpanel and go to PHPMyAdmin.

Select the Zen Cart database by clicking on it. Once there, go to the search tab. Select "all words" and type in IH

Beneath that, click on "Select all" to select all database tables. Then click "go". This should bring up a list of all tables that reference "IH" in any way. Be aware that not all of the results are related to Image Handler, so be careful what you delete.

Once completed, you can repeat the process using Image Handler as the search string (instead of IH) to see if there's anything left over.

In my database, all my IH files were in the zen_configuration table. Anything else it found was unrelated. But everyone's database will be different depending on what you have installed and how you have things configured.

Be very selective. If you hose your db, you hose your entire store.

Always back up your database before you do anything in there. Even if you're just looking around with no intention of making any changes...one time I was doing just that (browsing) and one of my dogs jumped on my arm, causing my hand to slide the mouse pointer to "delete" and when I tried to shrug the dog off me, I clicked the mouse button.

Accidents happen - db backups are essential - even for browsing.
