run root command in wsl without starting user session, for recovering broke wsl init configs
If you only need to remove the script, try from cmd wsl.exe -u root -e rm /etc/profile.d/00-wsl2.systemd.sh.
If you have bad startup config in /etc/wsl.conf, perhaps you can run wsl -u root -e mv /etc/wsl.conf /etc/wsl.conf.bak.
EDIT: you know what -u root does, don't you ;) As for -e, it means do not invoke the default login shell and run the rm or mv binaries directly.
