It is not a good idea to go deleting things from behind its back; p2 
(the new "provisioning" [that is, install and update] mechanism now 
manages those much more tightly than before). Other than restoring the 
deleted plugin, I'm not sure what can be done. You might try also 
removing the corresponding Haydes feature (if there is one) and 
re-starting Eclipse with the -clean command-line argument. I'm not 
promising that will help, but it might.
