These are the commands that need to be executed in order to remove InsomniaT in case all other uninstallation methods do not work. Please note you will be asked for your password for every sudo command.

Open up Terminal

If you are using 10.6 and higher

sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/InsomniaT.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/InsomniaT.kext

If you are using 10.5 and higher

sudo kextunload "/System/Library/Extensions/InsomniaT (10.5).kext"
sudo rm -rf "/System/Library/Extensions/InsomniaT (10.5).kext"

If you have the old app

sudo rm -rf /Application/Utilities/InsomniaT.app

To remove the preference pane and command line client and uninstaller

sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/InsomniaTPref.prefPane
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/insomniat
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/uninstallInsomniaT.sh

Go to System Preferences, right click on InsomniaT and choose to remove the preference pane.
