I installed postgres from postgresql-9.4.1-1-linux-x64.run file.
I want to remove postgres completely from my system. I deleted the data
directory file.
Now When I am installing it again, I am getting the below output :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the PostgreSQL Setup Wizard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Existing installation
An existing PostgreSQL installation has been found at /home/postgres9.4.1.
This
installation will be upgraded.
In order to upgrade, we may need to restart the server. All connections to
the
server will need to be reestablished after the completion of the
installation
process.
Press [Enter] to continue:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please select a directory under which to store your data.
Data Directory []:
This means postgres is not completely removed. How to remove it completely
because I need a fresh installation.
I uninstalled PostgreSQL by following :
[root@ZetaSearch02 postgres9.4.1]# ./uninstall-postgresql
Do you want to uninstall PostgreSQL and all of its modules? [Y/n]: Y

Press [Enter] to continue:

Now when I run the file again it is giving me the same output:
./postgresql-9.4.1-1-linux-x64.run

Hi Vivekanand Joshi,
To Uninstall PostgreSQL completely from Linux, You need to remove entries
that are stored in following files
Remove 9.4.1 entries from vi /etc/postgres-reg.ini file.
Remove /var/lib/pgsql
Remove postgresql postgresql-8.4 services in /etc/init.d
After removing these entries try to install PostgreSQL.
And you may also delete data directory manually.

Please remove related entries in /etc/postgres-reg.ini file, after
taking a backup of it. Installers look at that file.
