wsl2[ubuntu24-04]:msfpro runs the Creating scripts directory command. The system displays that port 50505 is occupied

I am sure that port 50505 is not currently occupied

You should be able to check what's running on that port with:

sudo lsof -i :50505

i.e. for my environment:

$ sudo lsof -i :50505
COMMAND    PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
.ruby.bin 2970 root   13u  IPv4  66278      0t0  TCP localhost:50505 (LISTEN)

I scanned port 50505 on WSL2 and also on Windows. There was no process occupying it in either case.

When installing the script "metasploit-latest-linux-x64-installer.run", only the script directory is created and it is empty. I installed it once before and then shut it down in the middle. In this case, how can the remnants of the last installation be completely removed and the installation be successful

It's solved. I obtained the uninstall file under /opt/metasploit from VMware and executed it in WSL, then the installation could proceed.
