Now that the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has been released to the masses in Windows 10 Anniversary Update and you have have installed the feature and had a play, What happens if you want to start from scratch and reset everything to a fresh state? This is something we often do in IT, especially when troubleshooting an issue. Instead of going into Programs & Features in Control Panel there is a very quick command you can run to perform the reset.
lxrun /uninstall
This will uninstall the WSL environment from your workstation. Combine it with:
lxrun /install
to reinstallĀ the WSL environment and you are all reset.
You can also set root as the default user for WSL at the install phase with the following switch:
lxrun /install /y
Alternatively, you can define your own user at install with:
lxrun /installĀ /setdefaultuser <username> /y
Note: if you omit the /y switch when defining your own username then you will be prompted to set a password for said user.
Super simple stuff! Go forth and get knee deep in the world of Linux, Windows Administrators
