Originally created by @marcoriesco on GitHub (Feb 7, 2023).

Installed and ran perfect, used only for testing. Now I'm not finding the QEMU image, it's taking up too much space, where can I find it to remove?

  • I've already deleted the images and the docker container and it's still allocating a lot of space

That's an odd situation. For me, using docker rm -f was like magic, it worked perfectly. Consider running the below command to delete any unwanted docker junk:

% docker system prune -a

you can also use this command to optimise the vhdx file size with

Optimize-VHD -Path "C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl\data\ext4.vhdx" -Mode Full
