Strange directories under / (or \\wsl.localhost\WLinux) #754

Description

@vmelamed

I haven't worked on this computer for 2-3 months now and when I came today besides the usual home and opt and usr I saw a bunch of directories at the root (or under \wsl.localhost\WLinux if you want) starting with wsl like these:

drwxr-xr-x    14 root root 4.0K Oct 15  2020 usr/
drwxr-xr-x    11 root root 4.0K Oct 15  2020 var/
drwxrwxrwt     2 root root   60 Oct 22 22:47 wsl/
drwx------     2 root root 4.0K Aug 12 02:42 wslAbhkmO/
drwx------     2 root root 4.0K Aug  5 06:01 wslAdmGdd/
drwx------     2 root root 4.0K Aug  5 06:01 wslAdnjab/
drwx------     2 root root 4.0K Aug 15 19:13 wslbdbpOJ/
drwx------     2 root root 4.0K Sep  7 22:59 wslbKlGJE/

drwx------     2 root root 4.0K Aug 31 03:08 wsldGAhhL/
drwx------     2 root root 4.0K Aug  5 06:01 wslefoHEh/
drwx------     2 root root 4.0K Aug 15 19:13 wslenmlKD/
drwx------     2 root root 4.0K Sep  7 22:59 wslFGDdof/
...

I do not see these on my other computers. Is this normal or something is broken...?
