Here is the original link

Go to ~\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl\data and check the file size of ext4.vhdx. Right click the file and select "Copy as path". Apply these commands on cmd.

wsl --shutdown
diskpart

New cmd will open and

select vdisk file="ext4.chdx full path here with double quotes"
compact vdisk

That’s it.
