Did you install your package using apt-get ?
All the instalations that I do are using those tools from debian. You
have to see all the packages that you have instaled in your computer like:
dpkg -l | grep postgresql
ii postgresql 7.2.1-2 Object-relational SQL database,
descended fr
ii postgresql-cli 7.2.1-2 Front-end programs for PostgreSQL
ii postgresql-con 7.2.1-2 Additional facilities for PostgreSQL
Then you do: dpkg --purge postgresql. You can now run the first command
to see if something is still installed. If some are instaled, the you
remove it using again dpkg --purge.
