'--dbpath not working to change where to store databases in mongoDB

When running the command to set a new directory where to store databases it doesn't work.

This is the command I'm running:

mongod --dbpath C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\5.0\nik_db_folder

This is The error I get

\uncaught exception: SyntaxError: unexpected token: identifier : @(shell):1:9

I have also tried to enclose the file path in double quotes but it doesn't work anyway.

Can anyone help me to understand what's the error here?

mongodb syntax-error
