Installed new version of snipmate with Vundle, was broken, removed it, still broken

[ayyobro]

So I installed a fork of 'msanders/snipmate' that was a little more recently supported and it kept hijacking my tab button. It's supposed to only autocomplete the word it's hovering over, but it will attempt to do autocompletion even if a word is not even there.

Anyways, I removed the plugin references in Vundle that were pointing towards the broken fork, added back the older version so I can get back to square one, re-installed the plugins, but then the functionality for the broken fork was still there.

I checked the plugin files again and I had correctly removed it. I did end up seeing the directories were still there even after removal, which I removed promptly, closed out macvim and re-opened it, but the same thing was still happening.

I'm really trying to avoid uninstalling all my plugins and removing ALL my f*$#%#$% settings that I made, but it's seeming like I'll need to do so.

Has anyone else had the issue of removing a plugin but it not actually 'removing'?

[ayyobro]

Hmm.. I went through and removed those directories, restarted macvim, but the same thing still happens.

So now the package files are gone, I'm not referencing them in plugins.vim anymore, and I don't have anything in my .vimrc that hijacks the tab. Do you think I just need to re-install macvim at this point?

Hmmm.... here is my .vimrc:

I can't really see anything that's messing with the tab functionality here, but then I ran:

:verbose imap <tab>

and got a response of

Last set from ~/.vim/bundle/snipmate.vim/after/plugin/snipMate.vim

but snipmate is what allows me to use snippits within macvim by tabbing out certain keywords. I'm unsure as to why it would now to try execute when the cursor isn't next to any sort of text.
