Hi,

I was trying to install PostgreSQL and the first time around I had the wrong settings so I deleted the software from my desktop and tried to re-install using the right settings but it won't let me install it now and i keep getting a data directory error saying the specified data directory is not empty. Any idea what is it i need to delete in order to install SQL and how I go about doing this. Thanks for your help.

Go to Control Panel and see if you can delete postgreSQL from here, generally not.

Go to Program Files (or the equivalent for Vista) and manually delete the postgreSQL folder.

Reboot your PC.

Reinstall.
