I created a couple patches to help resolve this issue:
linkchecker-add-remove-all-links-button-to-admin-settings-form-3386292-7.patch
Adds a button to the LinkCheckerAdminSettingsForm.php file that allows users to delete all link data by reusing an existing method
$this->linkCleanUp->removeAllBatch();
linkchecker-added-delete-operation-and-route-to-linkchecker-entity-3386292-7.patch
This patch adds a the delete operation to the custom entity. It adds the core\Entity\ContentEntityDeleteForm as the delete form and a matching delete link. I also mapped the "label" = "lid" so the link entity ids shows if using bulk operations. This patch also adds the new delete route to the LinkCheckerLinkRouteProvider.php.
These patches allow users to delete individual link entities and/or delete all link entities to uninstall the module.
Patch #4 was failing to install with composer-patches so I applied the changes to the file and created this patch. I attempted to create an interdiff between the files, but interdiff created a blank file and gave this message "interdiff: Whitespace damage detected in input".
I really like the idea of this module. and it seems to work well during my initial testing. But I'm not a fan of being forced to truncate production database tables to uninstall the module, so I will not be using it at this time. Are there plans to allow the linkchecker entities to be deleted through the UI in the future?
The "drupal/recommended-project" for version 10.1.5 requires "composer/installers" version ^2.0, but "drupal/fontawesome" requires "composer/installers" version ^1.2.0.
This is fixed in the dev version of the fontawesome module, but here's a patch to allow using "composer/installers": "^1.2.0 || ^2.0".
I'm not sure if this fixes the issue downloading the library using drush, but I use the "wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin" and it downloads the fontawesome library after this patch is applied. The README.md in the fontawesome module explains how to config the "wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin".
