Hi
I had installed Postgres version 18 earlier on my PC, but I want to
start over, and remove all of the DB's I have made. I couldn't figure
out how to do that, so I googled and was told that I should uninstall
postgres, stop the service in the task manager, and then delete the
folder under C:/Program Files. AFter that I should restart the PC, and
everything should be gone, and ready to be reinstalled. I did that, but
each time I am trying to reinstall it, then it doesn't make any folders
under Program Files, so the service can't be started. It just give me
this warning

If I try to reinstall it again, it tells me that it is already
installed, and asks me if I want to make a change, repair, or
uninstallation. I have tried to choose that it should install the docs
also, and then it creates the folder under program files, but it only
contains the docs nothing else.
I have tried to restart the PC, reinstall it and tried google how to
solve this but no solution yet.
I hope you could guide me the right way.
1) Assuming you are using the EDB installer did you follow the
instructions here?:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/supported-open-source/postgresql/uninstalling/
2) Did you try the repair option on the reinstall?
