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:.

As of August 2022 this is the most simple, easier and accurate way to move your MSFS to another drive. It worked PERFECTLY for my MSFS MS store version with no additional procedures.
