Windows Central is showing you the steps how to properly delete a Linux distro from Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows 10 and Windows 11.



How to properly delete a Linux distro from WSL

Installing a Linux distro in WSL is easier than ever, but how do you properly remove one? In recent times, installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows 10 and Windows 11 has become much easier. We're at the point now where you can either install it from the Microsoft Store or enter a single command in the terminal to be on your merry way. One of the many benefits of WSL is that you can set up a full Linux distro and integrate it into your Windows workflow without fear of breaking anything important on your PC. It's a virtual machine, but one that interacts with your Windows installation, and if anything should go wrong you can simply destroy it and start again.
