I was compiling a TeX file with marvosym package – which was not installed in my computer. When it was automatically attempting to install the marvosym package, I force closed the program thinking that I will do it directly from the MikTeX package manager. But when I tried to get the package, the package manager showed that 'marvosym' was installed just now – during which I closed it forcefully.
Now, in my package manager, both install and uninstall options are greyed out and only properties option is active. I tried to manually delete all the files (by locating the files using the properties window) to reinstall the entire package. No luck – the install and uninstall options are still greyed out. I tried to run the .tex file again – this time it asked for installing the package, and I let it run completely – but I still have an issue where this package is not installed properly and therefore the pdf is not generated.
Is there any way to manually fix this issue – where I would be able to uninstall and install the package properly?
Thanks for your help!

Sounds as if the map file has not been updated. Run on a command line
updmap.Remark: This is often necessary -- if you don't kill the installation -- as the admin package manager can not update user map files.
