Subject: [GENERAL] Drop/Re-Creating database extremely slow + doesn't lose data
Intention: to drop a database and recreate it.
Expectation: the newly created db should be empty
What happens: dropping is fast, creation is slow, and when I reconnect, all the data objects are still there.
Commands (tried both through command line with dropdb/createdb and through psql)

And the corresponding lines from pg_log:

Then I continue to check the newly created database is there:

So all the data is still there.

Even weirder, created a new DB with a completely unrelated name. Again "create database" took long time, but then connected to it and it has all the data from the "dafodb".
Also tried: renaming dafodb to dafodb_OLD and again "create database dafodb". Both contain the same data.
All this on Pg 9.5.2 on 64bit Ubuntu with 3.13.0-74-generic.
Any idea what's going on or how to recover?

Check your template db (whichever is used to create new db).
Probably your unexpected table and sequence are coming from there.
