Wsl Rebuild

If you ever want to recreate your development environment again from scratch (e.g., to test a change you've made to the provisioning process, or because you think something is broken), you can do so using the following steps:

1. To find the distribution name to unregister (delete), open Command Prompt or PowerShell and use the following command:

$ wsl --list --verbose

If you are unsure about which distribution to unregister, you can log into the WSL distributions to ensure you are deleting the one containing your development environment using the command:

wsl -d <Distribution Name>

2. To uninstall your WSL distribution, enter the command:

$ wsl --unregister <Distribution Name>

For more information, checkout the official documentation for WSL commands

3. Next, follow the setup instructions, starting from [Step 1: Install prerequisites]

If you just want to rebuild the development database, the following is much faster:

$ ./tools/rebuild-dev-database
