Brute force removal of the directories via DOS prompt rd /s of the "GAC
hidden" folders for the compoent will work as suggested by the other relpy.
Make sure that you don't have VS.Net open or re-start IIS if applicable. It
appears to hook the dlls in the GAC which doesn't all allow DOS the ability
to remove the directory.

I noticed that in my case (as referenced in the article from the other
reply) there is in fact a reference to an installer persisting and causing
the issue. I'm using an installer project to install the assemblies into
the GAC. These assemblies used uninstall properly but now do not.
