  1. Unable to delete WSL Ubuntu Files


    I installed and the uninstalled Ubutnu 18.04 for WSL from the Microsoft store.

    The uninstall did not remove all the files from my system and they are still there in AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc


    I cannot delete the files manually even as an administrator - see screenshot below.

    I'm guessing the files are registered to a Ubuntu user who doesn't exist anymore, any ideas on how I can clear these out??

    :)

  2. Ubuntu Linux on WSL will not use Internet

    I have asked for the last 3 weeks for help from Ubuntu for the Ubuntu app in the store. My desktop has no issues using the Internet no matter where I go. However, for the last approximately 4 weeks the Ubuntu WSL will not access the Internet at
    all. Using apt-get update/upgrade, wget, curl, anything simply comes back as "Unable to access <whatever> site. Please try later." I have checked hosts, host.allow, host.deny, all are empty except for the normal comments. I have deleted/reinstalled
    Ubuntu, deleted/turned off WSL/rebooted/used disk cleanup/turned on WSL/rebooted/reinstalled Ubuntu and nothing helps. Please, someone help me with this issue before I delete windows entirely and set it up as SUSE or Fedora only. Thank you
    for any help/clues you can give me because Canonical doesn't seem to care.
