Try deleting them from the products folder (Control_Panel/Products in 
Zope).  When a product gets installed, sme information is stored in the database
and this information is retained even when the products go away. What
you are seeing in Control_Panel is left over from when you tried the
products in the normal plave (SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/Products).

You can install Products in *either* INSTANCE_HOME/Products or
SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/Products. See lib/python/App/FindHomes.py.
