How to uninstall WSL distros of all users by admin

Question

Is it possible for admin user to uninstall WSL distros created by other users ?

Here is my usecase. I install my application as admin. A non-admin user uses this application and creates WSL distrol. Once admin uninstalls the application, I want all the distros created by the users when using the application. Is that possible ?

Hello Manju，
Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

When you install an application as an admin and a non-admin user creates WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) distros using that application, the distros are tied to the user's profile. If the admin uninstalls the application, the distros created by the non-admin user should remain intact because they are stored in the user's profile, not in the application itself.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,
