You removed the table directory? You tried disabling the table and then deleting it? Otherwise, how many regions in this table? You could try deleting its entries from .META. explicitly: hbase> deleteall '.META.', 'TABLE_ROW_NAME' (Be careful you don't mess up the rest of your hbase install). If still regions in transition, try restarting the master. It can keep state in memory and this is only way to get rid of it in 0.90/0.92. If above doesn't work, come by this list w/ more detail.
