How to remove an already-installed Visual Studio 2013 extension .vsix file?

Question

I've just installed Productivity Power Tools 2013 for my Visual Studio 2013 and then playing with the option of this extension and I get crashed :-(

i.e.

• The Solution Explorer window is now empty.
• Cannot exit Visual Studio
• Going for Tools - Extension and Updates fails too

What can I do to get back to where I was >.<
