If I have my witches right... there was only one "wicked witch of the west."
However... she wasn't a biblical character, but one who ruled in the "Winky Country" in the land of "Oz."
If my sources are correct [it's been awhile]... she reputedly melted when water was poured on her.

In The Wizard of Oz where was the Wicked Witch from?
According to author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], there originally were four wicked witches who terrorized the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. They were the Wicked Witches of the East, North, South, and West. Glinda the Good and another unnamed Good Witch managed to take over the rule of the Red Quadling Country of the South, and of the Blue Munchkin Country of the North, respectively. So Baum's story began with two good witches, and two wicked witches. Close to the beginning of the book, the Wicked Witch of the East was killed when Dorothy's farmhouse landed on her. A bit more than midway through the story, the Wicked Witch of the West was killed when Dorothy threw a bucket of water on her and melted her into nothingness. So the story ended with no wicked witches, and two good witches of the South and of the North.

Is the Wicked Witch friends with the Good Witch in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
No, neither one of the Wicked Witches appears to be friends with either one of the Good Witches in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz."In the original book, the two bad witches are the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West. The two good witches are the Good Witch of the North and Glinda the Good of the South.In the beloved 1939 movie version of "The Wizard of Oz" likewise does it seem unlikely that the two bad witches may be considered friends of the one good witch, Glinda the Good of the North.But in "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," a subsequently published prequel by Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954), the two bad witches are given the names of Nessarose of the East and Elphaba of the West. Elphaba and Glinda the Good start out on bad terms, but end up fast friends. Given the roller coater start to their interaction, it is entirely believable that the two go from enmity to friendship to back to enmity.

In the play Hamlet how many witches were there?
4 active in the book, 3 active in the movie. Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] identified four main witches who are active in his story: Glinda the Good Witch of the South, the Good Witch of the North, and the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West. The original count was six or seven. For the world of Oz originally had four wicked witches. But Glinda and her colleague managed to take over the Quadling country of the South and the Munchkinland of the North, respectively, from the Wicked Witches who had been ruling in those two lands. In addition, Baum brings in the story of Gayelette, a beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. Is she a seventh witch, in addition to the two previously Wicked Witches of the North and of the South; the two Wicked Witches of the East and of the West; and the two Good Witches of the North and of the South? Or is she the younger version of the older Good Witch of the North? In the 1902/1903 stage version of the book, Baum gives the Good Witch of the North the name Locasta. But there are inconsistencies between the play and the book versions even though Baum authored both! In the 1939 film version, there are only three witches: Glinda has become the Good Witch of the North, there's no Good Witch of the South, and there are the two Wicked Witches of the East and of the West.
