I just signed up via Insider Hub (previous tester) and received an update via MS Store - has literally wiped my entire install. Forced to download 173gb… community folder also been wiped 
Manual cache also gone… This is bad… really bad.

I know it does not help you but same here. You are not the only one. Very sad.
Guys, turn off download and I can help you via DM.

Tutorial.
How to prevent more than 173GB download
Turn off download.
Go to:
c:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache
In notepad open file named
UserCfg.opt
Scroll down to last line and edit
InstalledPackagesPath
e.g.
New path
InstalledPackagesPath “C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache”
Below your old good root game folder path
e.g.
InstalledPackagesPath “G:\MSFS2020”
Save changes and run msfs.
Important info.
Change InstalledPackagesPath only if you don’t have time to download now.
You can download later, just change InstalledPackagesPath to new WU4 update path.

I’m sorry - this does not work for me. This location already had symbolic links to my G: and those folders have been emptied.
Do you mean the WU4 beta is an entire complete set of FS2020 “Official” folder files and not just the updated ones, therefore you can keep a copy of the current “release” files aside eventually to use them normally, but no matter what you’ll have to download them all?
No, it only happens if you install to a new folder and not your old installed data folder where nothing will/should be deleted.
Who knows + NDA 
ps.
Now i have old MSFS and new 
and of coz 2x system image backup before and after app update
edit
Fresh game install before WU4 is a good move guys.
