How to uninstall PostgreSQL (and pgAdmin3) from OSX Sierra?

Question

I've been having some difficulty getting up and running with PostgreSQL. Having uninstalled PostgreSQL with brew uninstall postgresql and uninstalled/removed Postgres.app I re-installed Postgresql.app. When initializing the .app I was still getting this error message:

Per Postgresql.app's documentation, I looked at my Activity Monitor and saw nothing named postgres or postmaster:

I found this helpful answer and after sudo find / -iname createdb discovered I had a createdb file living in /Library/PostgreSQL/9.5/bin/createdb who contents include "pgAdmin3.app" which is no longer supported. (I am presuming I installed it when I first started looking into PostgreSQL and wasn't really thinking... whoops!) I also searched for pg_hba.conf files and found I have a postgres directory in my usr dir: /usr/local/var/postgres/pg_hba.conf

Is removing the Library's folder (/Library/PostgreSQL/) adequate for a complete uninstallation of pgAdmin3, or are there other files and directories to remove? For example, should I also delete /usr/local/var/postgres/? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

NOTE:
per pgAdmin3's uninstall site, ls -al /Applications | grep pgAdmin returns nothing.

per this similar question on another SE site, sudo find / -iname .pg* reveals nothing. Also, per the answer to that question, ~/Library/Preferences/ does not contain: org.postgresql.pgadmin.plist.lockfile org.postgresql.pgadmin.plist pgadmin3 Preferences

per the comments in this answer it looks like I should remove the /usr/local/var/postgres/ directory manually. And from the question, I also invoked sudo find / -name "*postgres*" and got a whole bunch of listings. Of note, I see that BlackMagic's DaVinci Resolve is using a PostgreSQL server. The install timestamp of pgAdmin3 is the same as when I installed Resolve... ? Not sure what I need to do.

This forum conversation sheds some light on Resolve's PostgreSQL server removal.

UPDATE: per comments, when I launch Activity Monitor as admin:

sudo "/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/Activity Monitor"

...I see these processes associated with user:postgres

Should I quit these processes before deleting the contents of /Library/Postgres/... and other associated files like:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.edb.launchd.postgresql-9.5.plist

/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Prereqs/config_postgres.sh
/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Prereqs/install_postgres.sh
/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Prereqs/postgresql.zip

Maybe I can leave the Homebrew dir/files?

Note: found these with sudo find / -name "*postgres*"

Also per this github blog, should I "Restore shared memory settings" with sudo rm /etc/sysctl.conf

Answer 1

Well, turns out I had pgAdmin3 installed by DaVinci Resolve 12.5.4's installer and their uninstaller didn't get rid of all the components it installed.

I deleted this file: /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.edb.launchd.postgresql-9.5.plist and was able to reboot without the postgres processes launching - note to use Activity Monitor as admin and displaying "All Processes"
sudo "/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/Activity Monitor"

I then deleted the entire contents of:
/Library/PostgreSQL/...
/usr/local/var/postgres/...
/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/...

and other non rbenv & homebrew "postgres" files (tho I did nuke the homebrew postgres log) I found using sudo find / -name "*postgres*"

I've seen a couple "uninstalling" posts, and this one recommended using
sudo rm /etc/sysctl.conf but I don't think it applies to OSX Sierra's install of pgAdmin3 components from the DaVinci Resolve installer.
