I try to start mongod.exe but I have and I get the following error:

C:\MongoDB\Server\30\bin>mongod.exe

I also tried to run it with --repair but then I get the same error.

Finally, I tried to delete the mongod.lock file but I still get the error.

How should I fix the unclean shutdown?

The solution to this problem is mongod --repair. This command automatically shuts down the all processes and repairs Mongodb issues. You can find more details in the official documentation.
