It's the worst thing ive ever done to a website, almost like an infection. Strange that it isnt easy to just reset it. i think this website should maybe take a break for a while.

Your website uses a database, and you should have access to it incl edition and deletion of database tables. Your web host should offer some form of documentation and/or help for this. --- Need help with customisations of layouts, style or other site development?

If you don't have access to your SQL interface (phpmyadmin for example), you can use the HikaShop override system in order to put the SQL queries to delete "manually" the HikaShop tables. So, you can use a backend view, put the PHP code to clean HikaShop tables, call this special new view and then, uninstall HikaShop in the Joomla extension manager. Then, when you will re-install HikaShop, the "new install" process will be perform and you will have a all new install. But like lousyfool said (and Nicolas in the other thread), using a mysql administration interface is better.
