That's because it's not "Alarmed" that performs the actions, but the maemo built-in daemon called "alarmd". Uninstalling Alarmed wont remove the alarmd events. If you have removed Alarmed and reinstalling it wont show the events like you left them, then you can instead remove the events manually as described in the first post:

It comes with a "cookie", which identifies it. For example: "cookie: 886". You can then use the CLI interface to delete the event. It will tell you it doesn't exist, but it will nevertheless delete the backend-event:
Code:
/opt/alarmed/alarmed.py -CD 886
Don't mess with the alarm_queue.ini, you might do serious damage!
or if you feel brave and capable you can simply edit alarm_queue.ini by hand and remove the faulty entries.
