How can I delete the kali linux wsl folder on windows?

I installed Kali Linux a while back using the Windows and used a few times to play around with it but a couple days I got another pc and installed Manjaro on it so I could use it full time.

So I tried uninstalling Kali Linux through the Add or Remove Programs in Settings and it uninstalled Kali but the problem is that it's still taking space on my disk.

I had 130 GB before the uninstall and it stayed the same after even though Kali Linux was taking 28 GB before.

So what should I do?

WSL does not install the Kali App in Programs and Features (at least not on my machines).

Remove the Kali App in Settings, Apps. That should fully remove it.

You should of course, restart after removing the app.

You might, if something has gone wrong, uninstall WSL (Control Panel, Programs and Features, Windows Features). Uncheck WSL, exit out,restart and then if you wish, enable WSL again)

Kali WSL installed in Apps
