If you want to change your editor - from fckeditor to ckeditor, for example - perhaps in order to use the media module's ability to insert/display media from within a wysiwyg enabled field - do not remove the editor via your site's file system: ie. sites/all/libraries/(editor). First, remove it via the Drupal admin interface: ie. admin/config/content/wysiwyg (click "edit" beside the input format you want to adjust, then click "remove" on the next screen).

If you just delete it via sites/all/libraries, the editor will remain noted in the database or code, and you won't get the dropdown allowing you to choose the new editor.

I just wrestled with this for hours. Save someone some time!

This is a duplicate of #771424: Removing WYSIWYG Library Leave Blank in WYSIWYG Settings, which should make it more obvious an editor is considered missing if you just delete the library (which could happen on accident) without also removing the editor profile.
I haven't committed that patch because I wanted to make it super clear which editor was previously assigned to a format, as re-installing another one won't make the profile usable again.

Btw, there is a Delete link in the right column so you don't need to edit the profile to remove it.
