the problem is psql doesn't work after deleting this db. Guessing re-installing is the option.

Hi,

 Im new to postgres and and as soon as I listed databases using the psql -l command, i accidentally deleted the postgres default database. Im not sure what to do. Appreciate any help Thank you.


You can simply recreate the DB like so:

create database postgres;

It will take everything from the template1 database and make a copy by the name 'postgres'.

Best regards,
