How to safely remove a corrupted cluster?
If the saying "to learn you have to make mistakes", I'm "learning"...:
I removed a cluster's folder without using pg_dropcluster... sio now I have
a corrupted cluster. How can I safely remove it?

Solved by repeating the execution of (base) postgres@pc:~$ pg_dropcluster
--stop 11 fabmnet :
(base) postgres@pc:~$ pg_dropcluster --stop 11 fabmnet
Error: specified cluster does not exist
