    How can I uninstall Ubuntu installed from wsl commandline


    I installed wsl and Ubuntu on cmd with the command "wsl --install -d Ubuntu", and now I want to uninstall it because my C drive is completely full. But I can't seem to find where ubuntu is stored. P.S. The category is really hard to choose as this doesn't fit into any of them.

    How can I uninstall Ubuntu installed from wsl commandline

    Couldn't install Ubuntu 18.04 on WSL

    I am currently running 16.04 version of Ubuntu bash on Windows 10 Pro (v1803) using WSL. But, I couldn't install the newly released 18.04 Ubuntu on my machine from the Windows Store. The store just refreshes on pressing the Get button. I tried resetting
    the store app, but it didn't help.
