Why am I suddenly getting a mandatory 22gig update that I already have installed? I have removed all the tutorials and discover flights, etc. from my hard-drive. Why is this massive update installing them again. I am not a gamer. I use the simulator to hone my IFR and flight planning skills. This is wasting time and using up disk space. What is the reasoning here?
Hello @TakingPanda3059 .
Have you removed the content via the in-game content manager?
If not, MSFS will see manually removed files as missing and redownload them.
The topic was moved to #self-service.
Hope that helps.

Actually I did. But apparently I triggered something when I attempted to reload the program after a current CTD. I inadvertently chose the wrong option when I reloaded the sim. Realizing this, I immediately closed it down before it had fully loaded. I restarted my PC and attempted to reload the sim, but this time a screen to calibrate my control devices appeared. When I selected the “next” option, I was presented with the “mandatory update” screen requiring me to complete a 22 Gig upload and install. Took an hour to complete followed by another 35 min to again remove the Xbox entries and the other unwanted content .
You answered your own question. You also should have mentioned that additional information in your original post.
