I installed the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14316. Now I would like to remove it or, better, revert to its factory defaults i.e. as it was when just installed.
I tried, to remove it from the "Turn Windows features on or off" windows, with no luck. I tried, to mark it as "off" in the above windows and delete its files manually located in %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/lxss, with no luck.
Has anyone succeeded in removing/resetting the Ubuntu user-mode environment?
Answer
The following answer only applies to WSL on Windows 10 1703 and 1607. WSL on Windows 10 1709+ can be installed from within the Windows Store UWP application.
If you want to remove and reset the Linux subsystem, open a command line prompt with elevated permissions and enter the following commands:
lxrun /uninstall /full
lxrun /install
