Uninstall pgAdmin, look for /var/lib/pgadmin/ and /home/<user>/.pgadmin/ directories and remove them for a clean uninstall.

I tried installing back in July but due to issues there and elsewhere, wound up uninstalling and reinstalling pgAdmin. If, as you suggest, there are bits left over, what can I do to recover/destroy them? I am not clear as to what "the email associated with your account" means. Which account? If I have multiple emails on the same server, does it matter which one I use? If Postresql is on one machine and pgAdmin is on another, is anything different?
