When I go to: \\wsl$\docker-desktop-data\version-pack-data\community\docker\volumes I can see my volumes.

But I want to see them from the Linux side, so I go to: /mnt/wsl/docker-desktop-data/version-pack-data it is empty.

Even as root.

How can I access my volume files from Linux?
Thanks

Under Docker Desktop for Windows, with WSL2 integration, two special "instances" are created, which you can see with:

> wsl -l -v NAME STATE VERSION
* Ubuntu Running 2 docker-desktop Stopped 2 docker-desktop-data Stopped 2

Local docker volumes (as well as images and other data) are kept in docker-desktop-data, probably to provide common access across any installed WSL2 instance (for which Docker integration has been enabled), as well as PowerShell.

Please see this question and my answer there for information on how to inspect that data.
