WHOA, never delete those files unless you're sure you've killed off postgres first. Then and only then you can delete them and safely restart. If you ever manage to bring up two postmasters on the same store you've just destroyed your database.
Scott, Postgres has not been running. That's the problem I've been trying to solve. The only reason I've manually killed the socket and its lock is when the system shut down uncleanly and postgres would not start while they were present.
