Hi, I hope this thread is still "live" and somebody watching it.
I have a similar question that may be very easy to answer - or maybe not.
I installed MSFS on my SSD 250 GB (C:), since I naively thought space would suffice and SSD is sooo fast. I don't remember having been asked for an install-folder.
But then shortly before things were complete, the disk was full. I did not necessarily want to re-install, researched for some "move" solution and found it. A very smooth process, but took a while.
As a result, now I have two folders of the same name (Microsoft.FlightSimulator_%code%) on my PC:
- One in c:\Users\%me%\AppData\Local\Packages\
- and another (hidden) in H:\WPSystems\S-1-5-21-191etcetc\AppData\Local\Packages\.
Interesting:
Both LocalCache-folders seem identical, have the same files and size (141.362.773 k).
Only one folder on C: is NOT in H:, and that is SystemAppData (109 k).
Strange:
My file manager says that on C: 147.745.876 k of 242.830.764 k are free, where Windows uses 35.524.981 k, and Users (! including FS) 148.109.640 k (plus about 14.000.000 k for the rest).
My questions are:
• Is all this correct and necessary, or
• can I delete one of the two identical "LocalCache"-folders, or
• should I re-install the whole thing?
P.S.: There are two more MSFS-related folders unique on H: (WindowsApps, WpFSDepot) and of course others on C:.
