Why are compiled kernel modules contents in `/lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION-microsoft-standard-WSL2` being reset repeatly

I am learning eBPF and try to install bcc in WSL environment. I follow the official document to compile the kernel module manually, then install BCC from source, and after

sudo mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug

I attempt to run some bcc examples and tools and they all work well. But after some time or after restart of the WSL, these bcc programs can not work any more with errors like

chdir(/tmp/kheaders-5.15.146.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2): No such file or directoryTraceback (most recent call last):  File "./opensnoop", line 289, in <module>    b = BPF(text='')  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc-0.29.1+008ea09e-py3.8.egg/bcc/__init__.py", line 479, in __init__Exception: Failed to compile BPF module <text>

and I find the installed contents in /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION-microsoft-standard-WSL2 are reset, with totally different file modification time. I need to manually install the kernel modules again to make the bcc programs work well again.

Comparison of the contents of /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION-microsoft-standard-WSL2:

2 directory links build and source disappear.

My environment:

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS,kernel 5.15.146.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2,in WSL2,Windows 10 enterprise, 22H2, 19045.4170

I do not understand why. Any guidance?
