A few points:
You can try running Eclipse with the -clean option on the command line (or in the desktop shortcut if that's how you launch Eclipse). That will do some cleanup of cached information about installed features/plugins.
As you've learned, don't go mucking around with Eclipse's internal structures behind its back, doing so is asking for trouble. The plugin dependency management and resolution is a very complex component and thus keeps careful track of what's been installed.
Each Eclipse installation is self-contained, although workspaces are independent of that. In other words, there no reason that installing a new instance of Eclipse should interfere with any other instance you have or had. As long as you don't try to install Eclipse on top of another installation - always completely remove or install to a different location.
