Removing a gadget from live.spaces

While testing gadgets on live spaces I noticed that after removing a gadget it still appears in the list gadgets on the customizepage.
I also noticed that when I re-install a gadget, the content of the xml is not updated.

On live.com I can completely remove a gadget from My stuff.
Untill now I couldn't find out a way to do so on live spaces.
Is there a way to do so, or else is there going to be a way to do so

I'll also post this question under Windows Live Spaces.

    You're right. When you remove a gadget in Windows Live Spaces, it will remain in the Customize Modules dialog, and if you add it again (via the API or the dialog), your gadget will maintain the title and settings it had before. There is no way to delete all data associated with a gadget you've added to a space. We do not have immediate plans to change this behavior, but we may do so in the future.

    After installing a gadget, I have accidentally entered the wrong settings and saved it. Have tired install again from the gadget live website, but it still maintain the same title and settings it had before and could not remove it from the Customize Modules dialog. This is quite annoying as this was an simple mistake and I quite like to have that gadget on my space. Is there anyways that can undo the settings Please advice. Thank you.

    Thanks for the quick answer.

    I sure hope it will be possible in the (near) future.
    The list is growing fast with all this testing and I can't see some changes.

    Also I hope this won't effect the loading time of my live space.
