is apt remove an effective way to uninstall or is there a better method?
If you used "apt install" to install it in the first place, then yes, "apt remove" is the only way to remove it cleanly.
Note that this won't delete the data directory - you'll need to use the Debian-specific script pg_dropcluster to do this. Also, I don't think it removes the config files in /etc/postgresql, though "apt purge" should do for those.
