Running the -c command on a basic Ubuntu image gives the following error:

U:\>wslcompact -c Ubuntu
 WslCompact v8.7 2023.03.01

 wslcompact -h for help. For more information visit: https://github.com/okibcn/wslcompact

 WARNING: wslcompact found errors in the current image. It could be a storage problem,
          a corrupted ext4 filesystem, or any other issue. Image not processed.

And then many errors about not bein able to remove files. Result is an additional WSL called wslcompact and no shrinkage of the original.

Any idea?
