How to remove postgres database from heroku, which was created using the dev free plan. https://postgres.heroku.com/databases

I tried using heroku addons:remove --confirm --app salty-river-24 but it says app not found. Is this the correct syntax.

If you created the database with the web UI on postgres.heroku.com, you need to navigate to it from https://postgres.heroku.com/databases , then click on the gear icon on the right. There should be a destroy link. If you don't see a destroy link, then you probably aren't the owner and lack privileges.

I don't see a gear icon on the right, I actually created them in the user interface on the above link (dev free option)
If you click to the database itself from postgres.heroku.com/databases you'll see information about it, including connection information etc. On the right is a gear. shown here: cl.ly/image/2n1I1g0q3g3n . If you don't have a "destroy" link, then you don't have the right permissions
The link is dead

First, check all the addons you have by running:

$ heroku addons

This lists all available addons (detailing name, plan, price and state). Here, note the detail provided next to the addon. For instance, you may see something like:

heroku-postgresql (postgresql-cubic-88094) hobby-dev free created └─ as DATABASE

To delete this specific addon, run:

$ heroku addons:destroy postgresql-asymmetrical-03894

postgresql-cubic-88094 is in brackets in the listed addon.

You will be asked to type in the name of your app or re-run the command using --confirm <name-of-your-app>. Do so and the addon will be deleted.

Confirm the addon is deleted by running:

$ heroku addons

It looks like you're missing the name of the add-on. Example:

$ heroku addons:remove heroku-postgresql:dev --app salty-river-24

Use heroku addons --help to view the help, or heroku addons to list the add-ons for your app.

Removing heroku-postgresql:dev on -a... failed ! App not found.
Is that the right name of the app? Is it in the set of apps that you get when you type heroku apps? Also, do you have the latest Heroku Toolbelt installed?
heroku apps is not listing the postgres databases which I created. I am using the latest heroku toolbelt.
heroku addons ! No app specified. ! Run this command from an app folder or specify which app to use with --app APP.
Even heroku addons doesn't list anything for me, what am I missing.
