cannot Cannot find the viminfo file to fix the E575 error windows 10 wsl

I have been using Vim/Vivi for a while but my computer ran out of space while writing a file and then this error appeared and continues to whenever I open or exit vi.

E575: viminfo: Illegal starting char in line: s/School_work/.../t1_plotter.com
E575: viminfo: Ilegal starting char in line: ^I*^I1569136185^I0

etc.

Other responses have informed me I need to delete the viminfo file. However, I cannot find it. I have looked in /usr/share where I find the vim directory which contains the vimrc, as well as /mnt/c/Users/<Username>. But so far nothing.
