    ```
    How completely uninstall PostgreSQL 9.X on Mac OSX
    This article is referenced from stackoverflow:
    If installed PostgreSQL with homebrew , enter brew uninstall postgresql
    If you used the EnterpriseDB installer , follow the following step.
    Run the uninstaller on terminal window
    sudo /Library/PostgreSQL/9.X/uninstall-postgresql.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh
    If installed with Postgres Installer, do:
    open /Library/PostgreSQL/9.X/uninstall-postgresql.app
    Remove the PostgreSQL and data folders. The Wizard will notify you that these were not removed.
    sudo rm -rf /Library/PostgreSQL
    Remove the ini file:
    sudo rm /etc/postgres-reg.ini
    Remove the PostgreSQL user using System Preferences -> Users & Groups.
    Unlock the settings panel by clicking on the padlock and entering your password.
    Select the PostgreSQL user and click on the minus button.
    Restore your shared memory settings: sudo rm /etc/sysctl.conf
    ```
