mongod command is not working now. It was working before

I don't know what is the issue. Why the mongod command is not working now. It was working before. It takes some errors when I write mongod. I am using win32 operation system.

Within the error message it says "Detected unclean shutdown... mongod.lock is not empty"

This means that your mongod was not terminated gracefully - perhaps a hard kill.

In order to start your mongod process again, you'll have to delete this lock file. The path of the file from your error message should be: 

C:\data\db\mongod.lock

Here is a link to the relevant documentation where they describe the process of recovering a mongod instance after it was shut down incorrectly.
