Thread: pgAdmin III v1.10.5. Unable to Delete/Drop a server

Hi All,<br /><br />Earlier today, I upgraded my postgres database from 8.3 to 8.4.6.   My development platform is Win
XPSP3.<br /><br />Prior to installing 8.4.6,  I removed all the files connected with 8.3. <br /><br />Install went ok. 
However,when I start new pgAdmin III,  I still find the servers from the previous version.  I am unable to delete/drop
them. I can delete/drop, but when I restart the pgAdmin III, the servers are still there.<br /><br />A similar
behaviourwas reported previously at:<br /><br /><a
href="http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-novice/2010-09/msg00187.php">http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-novice/2010-09/msg00187.php</a><br
/><br/>Is there some hidden pgAdmin III configuration that stores the configuration information?  If so, where I can I
findit.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />John<br /><br />

Sounds like you just deleted 8.3 instead of properly uninstalling it,
and pgAdmin is still finding all the registry keys for it. Is that the
case?

Dave,<br /><br />Thanks for getting back to me.<br /><br />I did uninstall v 8.3 using Add/Remove Programs.   For what
everreasons, the registry keys were never removed.<br /><br />I used regedit and deleted the registry keys for 8.3
(servicesand software) and now pgAdmin does not show the old server names anymore.<br /><br />Thank you for you
help.<br/><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />John<br /><br /><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 5:21 PM, Dave
