Restoring automatic db backup on windows

Currently trying to restore from a backup db i have.

Following the windows system guide


## Uncomment the next line and replace DB_DATA_LOCATION with your Postgres path to permanently reset the Postgres database
# Remove-Item -Recurse -Force DB_DATA_LOCATION # CAUTION! Deletes all Immich data to start from scratch

i need to replace the database location with pgdata as per windows instructions but it says that cannot find path because it does not exist.

is pg data not what im supposed to delete?
