How to uninstall joomla component 2.5 manually

Question

I have looked this up in Google but none of the suggestions have paid off. I deleted files and folders and tables in database also, but no use.

How I can uninstall component properly in Joomla 2.5 so that I can reinstall without any errors

Moreover, I installed 3 times same component for errors. all times it was installed and showing 3 components with same name. I found it at backend "Extensions-> manage".

These are the urls I tried..

Answer 1

I'm back with positive result. i've fixed above problem pretty simple. i just placed respective folders and files of the component at corresponding places where all folders and files go after installation and tried to uninstall again, then it was worked fine, same way i uninstalled remaining 2 duplicate components as well.
