Why is windows credential saving my git password without my knowledge ?

I am saving my config file in text format ( for portability reasons) by using the below command. It works fine even after I deleted the git credential from the windows credential manager.

git config  credential.helper store

After some time of my work, Windows credentials may contain/save my credentials without my concern. How to block windows credentials to access my portable git credentials ?

As per my understanding:

## credential will save in Credential Manager
git config --global credential.helper wincred

## Credential will take from config file ( as we definded ) 
git config  credential.helper store

Please suggest any ideas or suggestions

Note:

I am using GitHub portable so, I can finish code anywhere. The GitHub helper popup will ask for GitHub credentials during the push. But I can close, still pull/push works fine for me.

Please ignore if I made any grammar mistakes
