How to install and unistall

I've notice when trying to uninstall by using the
command
"gmake uninstall", I still could access my database,

It only removes the files, it does not stop the server.

and also all my directories of postgresql and bin
files are still there!

It only removes files, not directories.

I am not sure if I should first drop my database, but
even when I did this all my postgres directoires
remain there.

Stop your server, remove the data directory, and make uninstall. That you
get you rid of most things.
