try:

rpm -qa | grep -i postgres

This will list all the postgres RPM's installed on your system.

Then to uninstall:

rpm -e whatever.rpm

(replacing whatever.rpm with the files from the previous cmd, you can list
multiple RPM files)

I usually install from source, so I'm not sure if anything on your system
depends on Postgres being installed...
