In wsl2 there is a way to repair or reset the distro (possibly a Ubuntu only option) without wiping wsl2. Not what quite what you asked for but quicker, I suspect.
For example if you've installed ubuntu from windows store then go to 'add/remove programs' then find 'Ubuntu' and then go to advanced options - you then have the option of repair/reset/terminate/uninstall
Doesn't work for me. The Windows Subsystem for Linux instance has terminated.
