I’m on pc. Suddenly the Xbox-app said I couldn’t start the game. Windows tried to install a supportive program, but failed. After that, everything is wrong.
Suddenly I have a WPSystem folder in my E:\ drive. I have not installed windows on that drive, but on a c:\drive. This WPsystem folder has only the MSFS files (including the community folder). I noticed that more folders that normally would go on your windows drive are now copied to my MSFS drive.
I tried to reinstall MSFS, but there no change. I even reinstalled windows (was on my list anyway).
There is still a wp system folder installed after reinstalling MSFS. The folders don’t look like every before. I reinstalled on E:, but I look like some of it is installed on C:.
I have found the community folder in the WP system folder, but I hate this.
I feel your pain. Let me tell you how I did it. Maybe it will help you or give you ideas. Please note that they’re are plenty of free cleaners to help clean your wayward files in the play store. At least you can try them for free at first and then pay a fee.
After uninstalling MSFS I looked and could not find the data files/folders it seems everyone is talking about. Then I downloaded a drive cleaner that is supposed to do this and remove any junk left behind. Then I downloaded MSFS for the upteenth time, unhooked the wifi, by wire and by air, and then tried to run it a few times. It kept getting hung up on “load a cd window”. So I was just praying that the data was erased. Then I hooked up the internet after forcing my rig to stop running after getting hung up on the cd load window. I hated to do that but had to twice. Then I opened MSFS and it asked me if I wanted to use the data that was just downloaded or use the data from the cloud. Of course I chose the more recent data just downloaded. Then It went to the beginning of the download routine and started downloading again. It’s doing that now. I sincerely hope this works this time and starts like a new game. If not then I guess I will have to switch to x-plane or something. Cuz I don’t want to damage my system just to load one game onto it. And I bought this system spicifically for MSFS!
