I should have checked it more thoroughly but at that time I just wanted it to 
work. I had removed with plasmapkg -r. then I tried to reinstall with 
plasmapkg -i with no success. Tried to remove it again but got the error 
message that the package wasn't installed. Scratched my head for ½ minute and 
checked it ~/.kde/share/apps/plasmoids/<package> was still there. It was and 
when I deleted it the re-installation succeeded. Next time (if any such) I 
will check which files are actually removed.

Do you mean the package name like "somewidget-0.3.1.plasmoid"?
