[BUG] "Move" Caused the deletion of my Distro #280

@Madscientiste

Description

@Madscientiste

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I clicked move expecting to choose a new path, instead it went though

it started to load, then it closed my wsl instance.

so i left my pc because it was way to laggy, so not usable while it was "moving".

when i came back after 30 min i found the app closed, opening my usual work instance i found it deleted... my storage is also more empty than before which is very concerning.

After searching around, i still cannot find my vdx, i hope you have any idea where or what i could do to recover my files as all my work and projects are on wsl.

Expected Behavior

Prompt me a new path, or just warn about what would happen when executing any actions that are important

At least leave my distro intact as it didn't complete the action ( i'm guessing the app crashed )

Steps To Reproduce

  1. open app
  2. click move
  3. ???

Environment

- Windows Version: W11 PRO 24H2
- WSL Distro Manager Version: Latest
- WSL Version: Ubuntu LTS
- Source: Winget, but then installed via Github release as winget would crash instantly

Anything else?

Please but warnings, for actions that might cause the loss of data, from what i've seen i'm not the only person who has this happened.
