A couple of months ago, I had created a WSL1 and used the Ubuntu app under the username void Later on, I have decided to upgrade it to WSL2, but I have encountered an error while upgrading it. Later on, I have discovered that it was due to BIOS virtualization settings.
In any case, I have performed these operations to delete the WSL2.
https://pureinfotech.com/uninstall-wsl2-windows-10/
1) Delete Ubuntu App
2) Uninstall Windows Subsystem for Linux update
3) Clear the Virtual Machine Platform option from the Windows Features
4) Clear the Windows Subsystem for Linux option from the Windows Features
After these operations, I enabled the BIOS virtualization and downloaded the WSL2 again, which runs perfectly fine.
The problem is I wonder what happened to the files that I have created under WSL1 under the void username. Are they also deleted after doing the above operations, or are they just somewhere in my windows machine.
Similar second question:
If I delete my ubuntu app (from windows store), does that also delete all my data (folders, etc.) that I have created under that username?
