+## Corrupted zsh_history
+
+WSL crashed on me and left my zsh history in a complete state and failing to run commands.  
+
+Performing the following actions fixed my shell.  
+
+```sh
+cd ~
+mv .zsh_history .zsh_history_bad
+strings .zsh_history_bad > .zsh_history
+fc -R .zsh_history
+rm ~/.zsh_history_bad
+```
