Script for generating inputprofiles for 2024 controls - potential issues?

I see that only two files are encrypted/encoded, I imagine they are needed.
I have listed the folders and file names and their details in a spreadsheet and checked relevant names/categoriesI to save my checking each one in turn in-sim. I learned if you edit anything in the profile file (e.g. to normalise profile categories across the controllers) it may create a new file name, alongside the old one.That’s not a definite, it happened once but a simple Save on another file kept the same file number - I don’t know why it made a new file first time I edited it and I deleted the old one but I write it for info. I have deleted all the empty folders without ill effect. I do have one in-sim profile for the Warthog, named as such, but I can’t delete it in-sim, it has the same attributes as the default profile. Perhaps I duplicated it somehow but I can’t get rid of it and it isn’t named in any of the profile files (all of which now match in-sim). Any idea how I get rid of it. I restarted the sim but it’s still there even though there’s no profile file for it?
Thanks again for your help.

It’s very likely that the profile you’re referring to is stored exclusively in the MSFS 2020 settings cloud, and for some reason, it doesn’t physically exist on your disk. If the profile you can’t find on the disk isn’t needed, you’ll need to trick the MSFS 2020 settings cloud. Here’s how:

• Start MSFS 2020 without an internet connection. Disconnect your PC from the internet before launching MSFS 2020.

• Once in MSFS 2020, proceed to the main screen (BE PATIENT )

• Perform a short flight - set up and complete a quick 30-minute route.

• After the flight, exit MSFS by selecting “Quit to Desktop” This step is crucial.
  Restart your PC and reconnect to the internet.

• Launch MSFS again. You should see an option to select a profile. Choose the profile that physically exists on your disk, not the one in the cloud.

This process should resolve the issue by effectively replacing the cloud-stored profile with the one you’ve selected locally. Let me know how it goes.
