Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My IT department blocked diskpart 🙄 but turns out there's another option for Windows Pro machines with Hyper-V.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. (WSL) sudo fstrim -av
2. (Host) wsl --shutdown
3. (Host) Optimize-VHD -Path "/foo/bar/ext4.vhdx" -Mode Full
