WSL2 - Cannot load settings from file
I'm currently using PyCharm with a python 3.6 project running in WSL2.
Very often (as in 9 times out of 10) when I restart my machine and re-open PyCharm I get the following error:
Load Settings
Cannot load settings from file '\\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\ubuntu\projects\<project_dir>\idea\workspace.xml': content truncated
File content will be recreated
This is really annoying as I then have to set up my run configurations and configuration templates again (interpreter settings are fine)
Any suggestions on how to fix?

Hi,
Please try to remove `.idea` directory from the project root and re-open the project. Does the issue still reproduce?
Hi Andrey,
Yeap, I have cleared my idea directory a couple of times and it has happened again.
To be clear, when just re-opening the project everything is perfectly fine. It happens after restarting the machine and even then it only sometimes causes the issue. It's annoyingly inconsistent.
Seems to be a known issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-264731
