System Information
Operating system: Windows 11

Blender Version
Broken: (4.2.0 0d7d6b00c9ec)

Short description of error
When you remove an installed Add-on from the disk by deleting the extension folder (keeping the config one) and try to install it again, it prints this error: Add-on not loaded: "bl_ext.user_default.ContextPie", cause: No module named 'bl_ext.user_default.ContextPie'.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Blender and install an extension.
Close Blender and delete the extensions folder.
Open Blender and install the extension again (the error will be printed at this step).
If you don't encounter the error, close Blender and repeat steps 2 and 3.

Additional Info
The error occurs when you try to reinstall an add-on that was previously installed and the preferences have saved this add-on as enabled. When reopening Blender, a "Missing script files" warning will be visible in the preferences (normal as we deleted the add-on on the drive). At this point, the add-on will fail to be reinstalled.
