I ended my exclusive agreement with my realtor after only two weeks- he was THAT unbearable. He agreed to let me out of the exclusive agreement, but refuses to take my listing down from his and various other websites. When I hire a new realtor, how can he/she post my listing if there's already an existing one for my home?
If it DOESN'T show as Cancelled, or Inactive soon, contact his broker.
In most MLSs... your listing will show up in the history has having *been* listed, but it will show as canceled, or some other equivalent term that means the listing is not active.
If a NEW listing as added to the MLS it will propagate out to all the Real Estate Websites as newer than the old one and will show up first. Depending on the site, the old listing may still appear in the history.
You may not be able to delete the listing from the history, because it did happen and is now part of the history. But sometimes you can delete all the pictures, and your contact information, if they are bad or you just really want to. If the other agent paid for the pictures, they will sometimes take them down to prevent you from re-using them. Some of the sites are better about taking down the old pictures than others.
As always, much depends on where you are and the particulars of your state rules, and your local MLS.

Read your listing agreement very closely.
You may have the right to terminate your agent's role as a fiduciary, but no right to terminate the agent's exclusive right to advertise the house for sale.
I know that sounds goofy, but that may be what you signed up for.
what Mike said put another way, you may have agreed to terminate, but they may have the requirement that it not be re-listed during the remainder of your original term.

What did they do that was so unbearable, inquiring minds want to know?
You make a good point, sometime the contract is canceled for marketing but it still in effect and sellers cannot relist until the contract expires, I know we call this withdrawn in our market as the listing date has not expired and the contract still in effect. I the contract is not officially canceled and acknowledged by the head broker of the company.
