Turns out there is a way to shrink the vhdx images properly in windows:
docker system prune(optional—all), to clean up disk spacewsl --shutdownOptimize-VHD -Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Docker\wsl\data\ext4.vhdx" -Mode Full, this will resize the vhdx imagesSame way you can try to find vhdx images that utilize too much space and optimize them as well. You can use TreeSize(Bing it: Tree Size Windows) to find which image takes the most of the space and optimize them.
P.S. dont forget to run
docker system prune
