Stop Gracefully on windows

[bhavishyagoyal12]

When we forcefully close using taskkill /F /IM PostgreSQLPortable.exe /t it don't start next time and ask for cleanup

is there any command which can be run from windows terminal to close this gracefully ?

How it do the cleanup can't we manually clear files ?

Try pg_ctl.exe stop --pgdata=path/to/data --wait.
