It doesn't appear you even attempted to uninstall the mod. Every piece of code from that mod still exists in the files you attached. Are you certain you uninstalled??

(Delete DOES NOT uninstall. It just deletes the package)

Anywho, I've attached the files with the mod removed.

Also, you probably have these files that were added by the mod still floating around. Feel free to delete them:
./Sources/AutoEmbedMediaPro2.php
./Themes/default/AutoEmbedMediaPro2.template.php
./Themes/default/languages/AutoEmbedMediaPro.english.php
./Themes/default/languages/AutoEmbedMediaPro.english-utf8.php

and you can delete the 'videos' directory (supposing it's not used by any other mod)

ohhh your amazing, that fixed it! Now, what should I do from now on when i download mods to make sure they work well and what should I do when I remove them so i know they are completely gone? To prevent this again.

Well, you already know how to get mods installed mostly, the one thing you need to be sure to do is check for errors when you choose install (the page where it shows you everything it's going to edit).

If there are errors in the install, that can (usually) be easily resolved. First place to start is these articles:
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Error_in_mod_installation
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Manual_installation_of_mods

It's really not hard, just intimidating. Just grab a decent text editor (Notepad++) and just manually perform the edits that the regular install couldn't complete.

Now for uninstall, again, DO NOT use the Delete option. You must first Uninstall (again, if there are errors, just do the same as above, just keep in mind you're removing instead of adding), then once you've completed the uninstall, you're safe to use the delete option.

Heh, I someone should do a video tutorial series :P

Again, it really is pretty easy, all you have to do is a little text editing, and you'll start doing wonders ;)

Ummm... well, I haven't tried it myself, but you should be able to re-upload your packages, then use the tool here:
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Manually_setting_a_package_installed_or_uninstalled

Set all the mods you know you deleted without uninstalling as installed, then uninstall the mods correctly.

Again, haven't tried it myself, but in theory it should work.

Nicely done, oh phurious one! Ta!
