I had installed WYMeditor about half a year ago, but disabled it again because of some problems I had with it. Now I want to try the latest snapshot, but somehow the installation fails. I guess this is due to some remnants of the previously installed version.
The main problem is that the WYMeditor format doesn't appear in the administration section under "Input formats". I can manually add it and then also configure WYMeditor, but it doesn't work correctly (enabling/disabling of classes in the editor doesn't work). I also tried to delete the "wymeditor_profiles" table from the database and re-installed the module, but now I get an error message which complains about the missing table, so I guess the install script just isn't correctly executed.
Any help is appreciated, since I think than WYMeditor is really the best HTML out there and I'd love to get it to work under Drupal.

The normal "manual" way of removing a module completely in Drupal is to both remove its tables, but also delete any records whose name starts with the actual module name in the variables table, plus remove the entry for that module in the system table if it is not already gone.
It may also be important to empty cache tables both on the drupal database, and also the cache in your browser. Cache issues can lead to false conclusions if not understood properly. Depending on the server environment, sometimes it may even solve things if you wait 15-30 minutes after emptying the cache, as the server itself has a cache that is cleared regularly, but not necessarily exactly at the same time as when you are clearing the other caches.
