How do I completely remove a corrupt VS extension?

Hello,

I had installed a Visual Studio extension for VS 2013 called Visual SVN.  There was no way to uninstall the extension, so I deleted all of the files for it that I could find on my machine.

Now, each time I start Visual Studio and open a solution, I get an error message: "An exception has been encountered.  This may be caused by an extension."  I also get random exceptions in Visual Studio which I am quite sure are a result of the missing Visual SVN files.  In addition, Visual SVN still appears in the "Options" tree view.  However, it is not listed in the Options -> Environment -> Extensions and Updates area.

I am wondering how to completely remove all references to this extension.  I assume it is something that needs to be done in the registry and/or a configuration file, but I am unsure how to do this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you very much.

Matt
