Hello everyone, in a cutom module, is there a way to intercept the deletion event of a module from the page? I need it, in case of deletion (also in sharing mode), to know when I have to clean up the related data.

Well - I don't know. But I know there was a discussion about triggering events like adding, changing and deleting module instances to/on/from a page some years ago, but I don't remember that this has been implemented (but maybe I just missed it).

What is your exact usecase? If you really need that, just try to open an issue (Issues · dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform) - and if you are ready to sponsor that feature, chances are good that someone will implement it... Or you implement it yourself (if you have the programming skills) and start a pull request...

Happy DNNing! Michael
