The supplied install location is already in use.

Describe the bug
Awesome job on the script!

The issue is as follows, when you import another distro in the same folder wsl --import will fail and report:

...
The supplied install location is already in use.

This is after the distro is already unregistered.

Please add terminal output if possible:

Move Debian to "C:\..\backup"? (Y|n): y
Exporting VHDX to "C:\..\backup\Debian.tar" ...
Unregistering WSL ...
Importing Debian from C:\..\backup...
The supplied install location is already in use.

Makes total sense since there is already an ext4.vhdx in the folder, maybe that can be checked before execution?

Script version:

• Bash
• Powershell
• Batch

Thanks for reporting. Yeah there are some other pre-checks that could be added at the moment. I think it would be best to add more support to the PowerShell version. But I am not that proficient in PowerShell scripting, so for now I don't see myself adding these checks.
