Hi,
I think you should try
yum erase postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5

or if this is not working then you can go to the location of it and remove it manually.
check the location using 
which postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5
you will get the location generally it is "/usr/bin/"
then remove it using rm.
Check it and tell me if the problem is still present.

Hi Everyone,

I was trying to install and uninstall postgres 9.3. After performing a variety of steps, I found that I have deleted something manually and now I am not been able to proceed further.

What I am trying to achieve here is to remove all the traces of postgres . I am not able to remove postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5 package.

I am getting the following error:

How to solve this error?

Any help would be appreciated as I am totally novice to postgres and it is my first time, I am trying to do something on postgres.
