How to remove hidden plugins in Visual Studio

I have plug-in for VS 2008. I cannot seem to figure out how to remove it. It's liquid xml studio. The program it self cannot be uninstalled because it's not listed in the add/remove programs folder and the uninstall app is missing.

Ok here's what I did. I delete the folder c:\Program Files\<bad plugin>

Then ran: Devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

This was in VS 2012, after trying the other answers here ...

Try uninstalling it from add/remove programs. You may still have some cleaning up to do after that in Regedit...as an example, I removed HGSCC, after uninstalling it, by searching the registry for "hgscc". Some of the places I found it in... HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\InstalledProducts\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\Packages HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\...

and also the guid clsid section. Visual Studio stopped complaining about it after I deleted all the registry folders that had all that junk in it the the uninstall should have removed. Make sure you have a good look.
