Description
Modules are divided into clonable - not clonable and deleted - not deleted.
Clonable - modules that can be cloned. Those. use the system module kernel to create your own.

Deleted - The deleted module is deleted irrevocably! By deleting a module, you delete all the information contained in it. You can only delete created (cloned) module.
Overwrite module - this option is designed to check module files for overwriting. Overwriting does not affect the added information and settings. If a module installation fails, rewrite it.
