Details

Even if you unpublish a link to a Joomla Component the component urls can still be accessed.

To completely disable the component without uninstalling it use the Joomla Extension Manager.

In Joomla Administrator got to Extensions > Install/Uninstall

Click the Components link under the "Extension Manager" title.

Click the green checkmark in the "Enabled" column to the right of the Component. It should change to a red x.

Now the Component is disabled.

Disabled Components do not appear in the Components drop-down menu.
