Haven't seen this before. One thing you can try is to upload the plugin to the server, unpack it, and put the file back in the ow_plugins folder. You may even have to restore the database from a backup. Go back to your admin panel and try to activate the plugin.

Typically to delete a plugin you would do the following in the admin panel.
1. If it is already active, hover over it, and click uninstall.
2. If it is deactivated. Activate it, and hover over it, and click uninstall.
3. Go to available plugins list. Hover over it, and click delete.
The files in the plugin would take care of the rest "i.e. Install, deactivate, uninstall files"

Try to clear your browser cache

Try to run www.yoursite.com/ow_cron/run.php

From what folder and table in the database did you delete the forum files and record?

you should delete forum plugin in ow_base_plugin

delete forum folder in ow_plugins folder


then check if the forum plugin is deleted in the admin


then you can try to upload the file back. 


Why do you upload the plugin again, if you wanted to uninstall it in the first place?
