In most cases, users should find it helpful to have the Ubuntu Linux folder in the File Explorer navigation pane. However, if you find the Ubuntu Linux folder on the navigation pane distracting or useless, you can remove it using the steps below.

Removing the folder from there won’t delete the Ubuntu Linux folder on the System’s drive. On the other hand, if you don’t see the Ubuntu Linux folder on the navigation pane in File Explorer and want to add it again, use the steps below to add it.

How to show or hide the Ubuntu Linux folder on the File Explorer navigation pane in Windows 11

Here’s how to hide or show the folder in Windows 11

First, open the Windows Registry, and navigate to the folder key path listed below.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{B2B4A4D1-2754-4140-A2EB-9A76D9D7CDC6}

If you don’t see the {B2B4A4D1-2754-4140-A2EB-9A76D9D7CDC6} folder key, right-click on the CLSID key, then create the subkey {B2B4A4D1-2754-4140-A2EB-9A76D9D7CDC6} folders.

Windows 10’s May 2019 Update introduced an easy, safe, and officially supported way to access and work with your Linux files from within File Explorer and other applications. Here’s how to get at your Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) files.

Unlike previous methods, this is a safe way to work with Linux files! Windows does some magic in the background, making it possible to edit your Linux files from Windows applications without causing file permission issues. You still shouldn’t modify the underlying files at their real location on your system.

Open WSL Files from Terminal

There are two ways to access your Linux files. First, the easy one. From within the Windows Subsystem for Linux environment you want to browse, run the following command:

explorer.exe .

This will launch File Explorer showing the current Linux directory—you can browse the Linux environment’s file system from there.

Open the WSL Directory in File Explorer Directly

You can also access them directly at the \\wsl$ path. In File Explorer or any other Windows application that can browse files, navigate to the following path:

\\wsl$

You’ll see the folders for all your installed Linux distributions, which are exposed as if they were network shares. For example, Ubuntu 22.04 is usually available at \\wsl$\Ubuntu-22.04.

Feel free to create a shortcut to this folder—for example, you could drag it to the Quick Access section in File Explorer’s sidebar.

Again, you can modify these files normally as if they were any other type of file on your system. Modify files with Windows tools (Notepad even supports Unix line endings!), create new files in the Linux folders, delete files, or do anything else you like. Windows will ensure nothing goes wrong and the file’s permissions are updated properly.

After installing WSL/Ubuntu 22.04 from the Microsoft Store on Windows 11, a Linux icon was added to the Desktop which could not be removed the usual way.

After reading the following site I found a solution.

TweakNow – RegTweakHideDesktopIcons

I added the CLSID for the Linux icon {B2B4A4D1-2754-4140-A2EB-9A76D9D7CDC6} to the HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel section of Explorer at HKEY_CURRENT_USER. (See Registry file below)

Then rebooted the system after adding the registry entry (shown below).

After reboot the Linux icon was not present anymore on the desktop. Problem solved.

A. Download the Registry File:
HideLinuxFromDesktop.reg

OR
B. Save and the following snippet to a .reg file and import it into the Registry Editor:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{B2B4A4D1-2754-4140-A2EB-9A76D9D7CDC6}"=dword:00000001
