What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
An interactive PowerShell script that moves WSL 1 and WSL 2 distro VHDX files to a new location using official wsl commands. It automates exporting, unregistering, and re-importing a distro to relocate its virtual disk.
Use cases
- move wsl distro to another drive
- relocate wsl vhdx file to free up c drive space
- move ubuntu wsl installation to d drive
- transfer wsl2 virtual disk to new location
- migrate docker desktop wsl data to another disk
When to avoid
- you need active maintenance or bug fixes, since the maintainer no longer updates it
- you cannot tolerate risk of a broken WSL disk and lack a backup
- you want to move Docker's WSL distro without first stopping the Docker service
