The author of the post was unable to optimize disk space on Windows 11 Home Edition using the methods described in another post. They discovered that the `wslcompact` tool can be used as an alternative solution that doesn't require `diskpart` or HyperV, which are not available on Windows Home. The author demonstrates the effectiveness of `wslcompact` by deleting a large directory on Ubuntu and then compacting the disk space, resulting in a significant reduction in disk usage. With just a few prompts, the author was able to reclaim unused disk space using `wslcompact`.
