Hi !
the most obvious way is to run :
wsl --unregister distributionwhere distribution is the name of the distribution you want to "format" (you can get the list of the distributions you have installed by running
wsl -l).So for example if you're using Ubuntu :
should get you a brand new install of Ubuntu.
Beware that everything that was stored on the wsl drive will be lost, and the command won't ask for a confirmation, so make sure you back up everything you need first !
