Thread: How do I remove PostgreSQL completely?
Hi guys! I wanted to install PokerTracker3, but the required PostgreSQL could not be installed because (apparently) it was installedbefore by another program... So, when I start PokerTracker3, a PostgreSQL server window opens containing already filled in data about Server, Passwordetc... When I press connect, the window "PostgreSQL wasn't able to connect to this database. Please check configuration (or somethinglike this)" appears. So I searched on the internet and found on one of the many support websites the instruction to unistall PostgreSQL, whichI did, but apparently the account wasn't fully deleted, so the problem is still there and I have no idea of how to getrid of it! I would greatly appreciate your help, but I need very basic instructions since I have only very basic knowledge of computersin general...

I think Sebastian should contact the makers of that software rather than us. It is their installer that has installed PG, in all likelihood, and we don't have any control over (or knowledge of) what it does. --=20 Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

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.
