Problem
When trying to optimize disk space the same way as described in this post, I discovered that neither of both solutions can be applied on Windows 11 Home Edition.
Solution
wslcompact
It turned out that wslcompact
doesn't force you to work with diskpart
nor HyperV
and encounter problems of their
unavailability on Windows Home.
You can find the up-to-date and verbose installation guide in the tool's README.
Experience
Now, I would like to demonstrate how it works on my machine.
How it was before
Now let's delete a huge directory on Ubuntu
And now the estimated weight of our distro is much less
Let's compact now!
As you can see, we claimed our unused disk space back with only couple of prompts.
