Importing old database?

Hi there I accidentally deleted my pokertracker whilst cleaning out my hard drive (it was almost full), so I've had to reinstall. Now my databases are gone and I'm wondering if there's any way I can reimport the PostgreSQL databases I had previously into the new installation of PokerTracker? I'm sure the databases still exist as when I tried to create a new PostgreSQL database under the same name it said it already exists, I just can't find how to get the database back into PT. Help pls!

Open the File > Maintain Database Names window.
Click the Add button.
Enter a description and then in the last field choose "Select existing PostgreSQL Database" from the list.
This should open a window with the PostgreSQL databases that you can select from.
You would have to do this for each PostgreSQL database you had.

That worked perfectly, ty very much. Also one more thing... How do I completely remove a PostgreSQL database from my hard drive? I have lots more databases available than I realised but don't want them as they are just taking up space.

On the Utilities > PostgreSQL Database Functions window is a section that allows you to delete databases that are no longer configured on the Maintain Database Names window.
