Hello everyone: I am a university student and I regularly work in a jupyter notebook environment, within a WSL system in my computer.
All of a sudden, my jupyter notebook kernel "died" and it refused to start ever since: this is the traceback I get from the terminal.
Traceback (most recent call last):

sqlite3.DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed
I am a physics student, thus I really don't know what to do in this situation. At this point, I have tried uninstalling and re-installing python, and I went full sudo apt purge to try and reset everything, without great results.
Is anyone able to help me fix this problem? Thank you in advance :D
