Reset ArchWSL to it's initial state

[punowo]

How would I go about resetting ArchWSL to it's initial immediately post-install state ?
I'm experimenting around with it a lot with the end goal of just having a bunch of script which I can replicate my development setup on any future ArchWSL.

I think it's easier to install a second instance. Just unzip rootfs.tar.gz and import it:

wsl --import Arch2 C:\WSL\Arch2 C:\Users\myuser\Downloads\rootfs.tar.gz

And then unregister the first one ? I'm using scoop. While I can adapt the command, both should be in the persist folder can't I just overwrite rootfs ?

You can unregister the first or have both in separated folders.

Have several WSL instances is as easier as import rootfs in another folder.

Check wsl --help to see the entire command help.
