Well, as you say postfix does start, there are postfix binaries around. 
Just find them and delete them. Or try, for instance:

  rpm -q -f `which postmap`

to find out from which rpm was postfix installed from, if any.

There should be a list in "/etc/postfix/postfix-files".

Well, that's a reasonable option. But make a full backup first, as you 
don't know for certain what you will be deleting.
