So, I am using WSL2 on my Windows 10 Home. What I noticed, windows Windows is reporting that vhdx ext4 partition is 105GB on my disk. But I also have wsl2 added as network drive - and there it is reported just as 89 GB. I already tried running diskpart and compact vhdx space there, it freed a bunch of GBs but I am wondering if I can do something more? Where this size difference is coming from?
