Hi everyone Recently I have discovered an unknown Microsoft Virtual Disk in my device manager. My question is: does it correspond to WSL2 that I am running on my machine or I doubt it may be related to Windows Sandbox I used to have enabled some time ago but later disabled or any other service? Does WSL2 service create a separate virtual disk in the device manager? It consumes 8gb of my SSD disk space and I want to get rid of it in case WSL2 does not need this disk to run on my machine. Thanks for replies

I'd suggest asking here about WSL2 issues.
