Windows Docker: Disk pressure on WSL files

Introduction

There was a phenomenon that Disk became 100% after doing Docker build many times with Widnows10.

It turns out that the WSL ext4.vhdx file occupies over 100GB.

Status

The problem is that the WSL 2 based engine doesn't seem to release the disk.

How to solve

Remove WSL 2 based engine (use Hyper-v backend)

For now, remove the WSL below and click "Apply & Restart" to restart.

Erase ext4.vhdx

wsl --shutdown

wsl --list --verbose

Delete:

wsl --unregister docker-desktop-data

wsl --unregister docker-desktop

that's all
