Hey thanks for this video! I'm finishing up Corey Schafer's tutorial and I think I will do yours next.

quick question! In my C:\Users\ I have a 'postgres' account..
C:\Users\postgres

Is this required to user postgresql? If not, how would I delete this?

Also, I had a previous installation of postgresql 9.5 on my machine that I uninstalled.
But at the end on the uninstall I received a message stating 'the data directory and service user account postgres have not been removed'
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL on my new install shows the old version still there as well as the new version.
How can I totally delete the old version?

Thank you!!
