How to clear the swap.vhdx in the temp files

[JannikSchneider12]

Hey,

I am using WSL2 Ubuntu and I know that there is an issue with wsl in general capturing memory and not releasing it back. Thats why I wanted to use wslcompact but before that it says that I should clear my temp folder at first. The swap.vhdx file takes almost 50gb and I can not clear it. Does someone know how I can do this?

Thanks for your help

Hi, this is not answer, but another complaint.

I do use use default TEMP values:

But WSL2 still uses OLD location. WTF? Why this buggy windows/wsl ignores parameters? Why these parameters exists if its ignored??

Press Win+ R then type: wsl --shutdown
