I reset Ubuntu on WSL with "Setting > Apps > Ubuntu > Reset". Now all my files in WSL filesystem is lost. How can I recover it?

I am using Ubuntu on WSL2 on Windows(OS Version Details). I reset the Ubuntu app by giving:

Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Ubuntu > Reset

Under 'uninstall' it's mentioned that uninstalling the WSL distribution doesn't affect the files, so does 'Resetting' a WSL distribution really remove the files in the WSL filesystem? I expected the /home directory files to get preserved but after reset I find that there is nothing left in /home.

Is it possible to recover the data that was there in /home?

Thanks for your time with this question.
