An important consideration: when you enable WSL and install a Linux distribution, you are installing a new file system, separated from the Windows NTFS C:\ drive on your machine. In Linux, drives are not given letters. They are given mount points. The root of your file system `/` is the mount point of your root partition, or folder, in the case of WSL. Not everything under `/` is the same drive. For example, on my laptop, I've installed two version of Ubuntu (20.04 and 18.04), as well as Debian. If I open those distributions, select the root directory with the command `cd ~`, and then enter the command `explorer.exe .`, Windows File Explorer will open and show me the directory path for that distribution.
