You had enough time to see your mistake when sudo asked for your password.
How the fuck did you missed that?
>>53342710
have you never done 2 or more sudo'ed commands in a row? you're not prompted for the password each time, its once per terminal session
>>53342749
*once every 3 minutes after the last auth'd sudo command
Ftfy
Being this dumb.
Maybe you also fell for the remove system32 meme

Maybe he used Plebian so the packages are worthless.

That's why you never use rm -r like that unless you're VERY careful. The safe way to do it is to cd into the directory you want to nuke and do it from there. Should've done something likecd /var/lib/postgresql
sudo rm -r *
cd ..
sudo rmdir postgresql
Also, you should've just removed this shit with a package manager. Only go in manually if you have no choice.
