Re: How do I remove PostgreSQL completely?

Hi,

How did you install existing instance of PG server..?? Did you use any of
the community installers..??

IMO to avoid data load, you need to remove your data directory if it is not
required now. To get rid of user accounts, you need to remove them as well.

Regards,
