How do I uninstall Easy Populate?

I got an error when trying to run the install.sql in Admin

'WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.'

In phpMyAdmin the error says

SQL query:

INSERT INTO admin_pages
VALUES (
'easyPopulate', 'BOX_TOOLS_EASY_POPULATE', 'FILENAME_EASYPOPULATE', '', 'tools', 'Y', @configuration_group_id
);

MySQL said: Documentation
#1062 - Duplicate entry 'easyPopulate' for key 'page_key'

and thus I have no Admin->Configuration->Easy Populate menu item.

The Admin->Tools->Easy Populate required me changing all the php [<? ] tags in the tempEP/fileList.php, since I cannot for some reasons get shortcodes enabled on my localhost.

When I upload a file with two sample items, I get an error 1054

MySQL error 1054: Unknown column 'EASYPOPULATE_CONFIG_CUSTOM_FIELDS' in 'field list'

INSERT INTO products SET

						metatags_model_status			=	'',
						metatags_price_status			=	'',
						metatags_title_tagline_status	=	'' , EASYPOPULATE_CONFIG_CUSTOM_FIELDS=''

I can only gather this is stemming from whatever options should be showing in Admin->Configuration->Easy Populate.

So...how do I a)get the configuration menu item to show OR b)uninstall this thing and try again?

Unfortunately I don't know the answer about uninstalling, but it looks like you may be missing a language file which would seem to explain the error message text.
