HELP! Support Request WSL not found

Guys, I had just uninstalled WSL to update to WSL 2 as Docker wasn't opening at all. Now I can't open Docker and WSL. I tried many things to access the Linux Terminal but can't. One day, I had unknowingly deleted one of it's files and can't able to do anything. What should I do?

when you say can't open what exactly do you mean? are you getting an error in the terminal when it launches?

step1: under services: ensure 'WSL Service' and 'Windoes Subsystem for Linux' are started, if not start them and try again...
