Thread: BUG #17312: MacOS User Account Postgres not deleting.
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 17312 Logged by: Batwings Email address: zeeshoo2006@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 14.0 Operating system: MacOS Description: Hello, I used to use Postgres but now I don't and I deleted it from my system. In doing so I removed everything from my Mac related to Postgres or pgadmin. Even though I deleted everything I had an account under the name postgresSQL. My initial thought was I had a virus but I later found out that it holds your data so I tried deleting the account using Mac OS X system but that didn't work so I searched online but none of the solutions worked for me. This is causing me quite a lot a problem and I don't want an account I have no idea about on my Mac so if you guys can get back to me and help me solve the solution I would really appreciate.
Hi,
You may try removing the postgres account using:
sudo dscl . delete /Users/postgres
