To resolve that situation

  • Right click on references and click add reference
  • Browse for dll
  • Navigate to the packages directory for that solution (where all your downloaded nuget packages and stored)
  • Manually add the reference for EF6
  • This should bring you back to the point prior to when you manually deleted your package reference

or

  • Open the packages.config file and delete the EF6 package reference
  • Open your csproj file and find the reference to EF6 package in there and delete it (This was likely already removed as a result of your manual reference delete)
  • This should remove all mention of that package from your project so go ahead and install it again
