Setting up WSL
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.
