Er, "rm" not "rpm"? Exactly what files did you delete here?

What does "unable" mean --- what command did you give exactly, and what
error message did you get?

To install Postgres I created a folder Postgres and I kept all packages and I installed Postgres from these packages.
To Uninstall Me suppose, I have to run rpm -e <each packages name>. Here mistakenly I removed all packages.I
I am still able to login in Postgres. Please help me to uninstall Postgres completely so that I cannot login again and
I have to install again to login in Postgres.
I am not getting any exception; I just want to uninstall Postgres.

I rather doubt that rpm would have let you remove "all" packages, and
if it did you wouldn't have a functioning system at all. Please answer
the question specifically rather than handwaving.

Seems likely that you didn't actually remove Postgres.
In particular, successfully removing postgresql-server
would certainly have stopped the service.

You do not need the packages to uninstall them. do this: rpm -qa|grep -i postgres and see what packages are listed. Then rpm -e packagename1 packagename2 ... to remove them all.
