    Hi Thrishank,

    Thank you for getting back to me and providing the screenshot.

    Based on the error message you're receiving (0x80073d21), it appears that the publisher of the Kali Linux app has restricted it from being moved to a different location. This means that unfortunately, you won't be able to move the app to the D drive.

    However, there are a few alternative solutions you could consider:

    > Delete any unnecessary files or programs from the C drive to free up space for Kali Linux.

    > Add an external hard drive or USB to your computer and use that as a storage solution for Kali Linux.

    > Use a virtual machine to run Kali Linux instead of using WSL.

    I hope these options are helpful to you, and please let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.

    Best regards,

    John D.

    Hi there Thishank, I'm John D, and I am an independent advisor.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're facing an issue while trying to move your Kali Linux WSL to your D drive. I understand how frustrating it can be to encounter technical difficulties, especially when you're trying to optimize your storage space.

    To address your concern, I suggest trying the following steps:

    > Open the "Settings" app on your Windows 10 machine.

    > Go to the "Apps & features" section.

    > Find "Kali Linux" and click on it.

    > Click on the "Move" button and select the D drive as the new location.

    > Wait for the process to complete and restart your system.

    I hope these steps help you to move your Kali Linux WSL to your D drive. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. I'm here to assist you with any technical issues you may encounter.

    Warm regards,
