If  you used "apt install" to install it in the first place, then yes, 
"apt remove" is the only way to remove it cleanly.

Note that this won't delete the data directory - you'll need to use the 
Debian-specific script pg_dropcluster to do this. Also, I don't think it 
removes the config files in /etc/postgresql, though "apt purge" should 
do for those.
