just load up docker desktop, select images and delete the sickcode image, you can also move the vm to another drive with

wsl --shutdown
wsl --export docker-desktop-data C:\data.tar
wsl --unregister docker-desktop-data
wsl --import docker-desktop-data 'D:\Virtual Machines\Docker\\' 'c:\data.tar' --version 2

you can delete the tar file or keep it as a backup; or compress your vm with

Optimize-VHD -Path "c:\location to vm\ext4.vhdx" -Mode Full
