How to install and unistall

From
Nico King
Date:
I've notice when trying to uninstall by using the
command
"gmake uninstall", I still could access my database,
and also all my directories of postgresql and bin
files are still there!
I am not sure if I should first drop my database, but
even when I did this all my postgres directoires
remain there.
Any suggestions??

It only removes the files, it does not stop the server.

It only removes files, not directories.

Stop your server, remove the data directory, and make uninstall.  That you
get you rid of most things.
