Is there any way to uninstall the VS2010 extension correctly without the Extension Manager? I couldn't find any special command line arguments for .vsix file and think that just deleting all the files from Visual Studio's special place is not a right solution.

Installation location During installation, Extensions and Updates looks for the contents of the VSIX package in a folder under %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Extensions. By default, the installation applies only to the current user, because %LocalAppData% is a user-specific directory.
Most extensions are per-user and are installed in the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<Visual Studio version>\Extensions\ folder.
Open in VisualStudio the folder that contain the "nameFile. vsix" file. File, Open Folder..., click right in the "nameFile. vsix" into de VisualStudio, and click in install extension VSIX.
Yes, actually deleting the folder is exactly what you should do. A "pure" VSIX extension is just a unzip of the files to a folder under %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions.
It's a good idea to check though that it wasn't installed through MSI or some other installer technology by verifying in Windows Add/Remove Programs.
