yes
i flipped to my regular account and re-created the db with initdb -D newFolder
i have noticed that initdb basically deletes everything ..and the reason for doing that would be?
initdb -D dataDir --noclean
allows initdb to retain the data folder and postgresql.conf configuration file contents

thanks,
Martin Gainty
