Setting up WSL#

Setting up WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

Cleaning up manually the WSL instance#

For any reason you failed to install WSL from Microsoft store, you might need to clean up manually the downloaded WSL instance, the default location is at: $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages

For example, Ubuntu v1804 is at: C:\Users\xiang\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\

Just delete the folder then reinstall it from Microsoft store.
