The 'available packages' list shows all known packages (i.e. package links).
Not only the open, installed, used.
The IDE removes the links only when the file vanishes from disk or a package
with the same name and version is opened.
I'm still not sure, how to reproduce the bug.

If it is installed, it should be possible to uninstall it. The only
exceptions are the the IDE autocreated packages lcl, synedit, ideintf.

That's a pretty normal use of a package.
