How to reinstall magento 2 extension properly?

Question

When using M1 i could reinstall the extension (launch setup/upgrade) just deleting the extension recording from the core_resource table. During the second magento address (or after cache refreshing) the extension executed all the files properly beginning from the 0 version.

Unfortunately i could not find the detailed information on how to reinstall the extension previously installed on my magento 2. Maybe somebody faced the same issue and knows the plan of actions for reinstalling the extension on magento 2 and could help. Your help will be highly appreciated.

EDIT

Example:

1. I've got module v. 2.0.0 successfully installed with own tables
2. I've delete the tables manually from the database
3. I've got module v. 2.0.0 without tabels

How to reinstall tables without completely uninstalling and installing module?

UPDATE:

bin/magento module:uninstall <VendorName>_<ModuleName>
<VendorName>_<ModuleName> is not an installed composer package

_{where the <VendorName>_<ModuleName> - is the real vendor name and module name of the my module.}

bin/magento module:status
List of enabled modules:
Magento_Store
.....
<VendorName>_<ModuleName>
.....
Magento_Weee
Magento_CatalogWidget
Magento_Wishlist
List of disabled modules:
None

UPDATE 2

My extension has the same name attribute value as in <VendorName> and <ModuleName>, in app/code/<VendorName>/<ModuleName>/etc/module.xml as it is indicated further:

<module name="<VendorName>_<ModuleName>" setup_version="1.0.0" />

In addition:

vagrant@magento-dev:/var/www/mgn2$ bin/magento module:disable <VendorName>_<ModuleName>
The following modules have been disabled:
- <VendorName>_<ModuleName>

Cache cleared successfully.
Generated classes cleared successfully. Please re-run Magento compile command
Info: Some modules might require static view files to be cleared. Use the optional --clear-static-content option to clear them.
vagrant@magento-dev:/var/www/mgn2$ bin/magento module:enable <VendorName>_<ModuleName>
The following modules have been enabled:
- <VendorName>_<ModuleName>

To make sure that the enabled modules are properly registered, run 'setup:upgrade'.
Cache cleared successfully.
Generated classes cleared successfully. Please re-run Magento compile command
Info: Some modules might require static view files to be cleared. Use the optional --clear-static-content option to clear them.

This bin/magento setup:upgrade goes without any errors.

UPDATE 2: I’ve found the additional information. Maybe it will be useful for somebody.

module:uninstall is intended to be used, only if you are absolutely certain, that the module wont be used any longer. However, other modules may have dependencies on the module that is to be removed. Hence we use composer remove, which calculates dependencies and removes code of the module from the file system. We cannot uninstall a module that is NOT installed via composer, since there is no way for us to know about dependencies in such a situation. It is risky to remove data and code in such a case. Hence, it is recommended that for modules NOT installed via composer, manual clean up of the database and filesystem is necessary. In module enable/disable, the code is never removed from the filesystem, so that it can be used if required at a later time. Hence, it is not removed from the setup_module table.

For a module installed with composer:

# uninstall the module
bin/magento module:uninstall Vendor_ModuleName

# reinstall the module, given that it is still defined in composer.json
composer install

For a custom (non-composer) module installed with Setup/InstallData:

• Remove the module entry from the setup_module table
• Run the following command to install it again

bin/magento setup:upgrade

For a custom (non-composer) module installed with Data Patch:

• Remove the module entry from the patch_list table, look for patch_name like "%Vendor_ModuleName%"

# uninstall the module
bin/magento module:uninstall --non-composer Vendor_ModuleName

# reinstall the module
bin/magento setup:upgrade
