Uninstall and re install?

I deliberately didn’t install the Aviator Club liveries and sure enough, they total about 500 Mbytes. Lotta wasted disc space…

So just to clarify guys, if I uninstall my present MSFS (that is about 147GB) and re-install it again the final uncompressed size will be about 86GB?

If you re-install all the things you had installed before, the file size will be exactly the same as before.

Microsoft must clarify this, because other people here say otherwise…

yeah would be nice for someone official just to pop in an say wouldn’t take minute.
But I can’t believe they would have found 34gb to cut off the file size.
It’s surely compressed files just like when you download add-ons on orbx central the download size is usually smaller than the installed size.

If you have quick internet then just re-install and find out if you can be ■■■■■.
Though if it was me, if the sim is stable for you id leave it be anyway.

I agree with you. My sim is very stable now and I still have 173GB free space on my 500GB disk, so if its not broken Don’t fix it…

Core means base install, it doesn’t include any additional aircraft and airports.
That would be a full premium deluxe install.

I know what means “core”.
In this case premium deluxe core = 86GB not 79GB.
Because you must install +10 airports and +10 aicrafts.

I’ve got the premium deluxe version and the content manager says 79GB.

That’s not the content manager. Recommended is not mandatory.

Premium deluxe 86GB. open your eyes :wink:

For testing purpose create new folder named msfs2020
After that edit file named UserCfg.opt
In notepad open file UserCfg.opt
scroll down to the bottom and edit last line

InstalledPackagesPath

to for e.g.

InstalledPackagesPath "D:\MSFS 2020"

save changes and run msfs

This is becoming annoying. No need to test anything. Simply check what the content manager states.
I’m out.

I’m not blind :wink:
