I want to delete all saves data and start clean game but IDK how to do it. Is anyone have an idea how to do this ?
thanks.
ie.
shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App -DeleteCloudSaves
But be prepared to loose all past saved data, ie Logbook, achievements, custom settings etc etc
You can also backup (when MSFS is not running), most of this data, by saving the WGS folder (subfolders & Files).
Restoration is a little tricky, as you have to fool MSFS to use the restored WGS folder data, and not that Data saved on the cloud.
I had to do this (Successfully) yesterday, after corrupting one of the files in this folder structure, with an incorrect manual edit.
Moral: Always make a backup, before editing files !!
Hello @IllGolf31065324,
We ask that all members not use General Discussion for help, troubleshooting, bug reports, or advice questions. Your topic has been moved to Community Support.
And how exactly is this tricky Restoration of the Wgs folder? I tried the obvious but it did not work for me. I also asked you the same question more than a year ago, but I was not priviliged enough to get an answer from you. I have seen this exact answer before from you, but you never show exactly how to do it. It is easy to advise without details. Thank you.

The restore process is quite logical.
You have to fool the Cloud system, not to overwrite your restored data. This is how I do it ā there may well be other ways.
Fortunately, I think this will only work for PC usersā¦ X-box I have not idea about, as I do not have an X-box controller to play with
With MSFS closed, write back your save WGS folder and its sub-folders & data.
Start MSFS, and as it doe snot have access to the cloud, it will use your restored data.
Once MSFS is fully up and running, re-connect the Internet.
Close MSFS by the menus system, (Do not X out)
Restart MSFS, and it should give you the option ti use either
The old Cloud Data
or
The More recent data on your PC
Choose the more recent data on your PC.
Then Shut down MSFS, and it will save that recent restored data back to the cloud.
Then you can start MSFS again normally, and it gets that restored/saved data form the cloud as normal, and your are Restored,
There MAY be other, quicker/simpler ways, but the above way I use, and it works.

A well deserved thank you for the detailed advise. I missed to disconnect MSFS from the internet when I restarted in the second step. Thank you again.
Let us know how you got on ā¦
The instructions I gave you were from memory
I think they were pretty good, the spelling not so much, lol, thanks again
Will all of your plane that you bought disapear or you still own them and just need to download them
Correct. You still have that license when you bought. They will be available in your Content Manager.
What is Meant by saying āwrite backā your saved WGS folder, sub-folders& data.ā?
Sorry for not being up on the times, but I have no idea what āwrite backā means.
copy the data over
All right thank you kind sir. I just learned how to uninstall Microsoft flight simulator from my PC. I did that so now Iām going to reinstall it.
