Uninstalling old add-ons - then reinstalling them

Permalink
I've had a lot of trouble since I moved my site from a sub folder to the root folder... lots of stuff went missing and I had to reinstall C5. Most of it is okay now, except I can't properly uninstall add-on packages - I've checked they're not in the packages folder, uninstalled from the add-ons bit in dashboard and un-associated in my projects folder. But they still error on reinstallation because, presumably, there's still stuff in the database.
The database is a bit of a minefield for a newby like me... any suggestions? I'd be grateful... thanks

Here's an example - with the Extended FAQs add-on I get this message when I reinstall:
Fatal error: Call to a member function update() on a non-object in /home5/epicover/public_html/packages/extended_faq/controller.php on line 24
