How can I safelly erase (with rm command in Linux) files or dirs
concerning a specific database ?
You can't do it with rm; you need to execute the SQL "drop" command
somehow to clean up all the references to that database. If you want to
remove a database from the command line, there's a wrapper script named
dropdb you can use to do that:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-dropdb.html
Note that removing a database will require connecting to the server as a
superuser or owner of the database. If you want to do that in a script,
you might need to setup a .pgpass file:
