if i uninstall microsoft will i lose everything

There also seems to be a lot of left-overs in the WindowsApps folder (once I eventually managed to gain access to it). However, I've already tried using the uninstall option on the app. It finishes almost instantly, and the app is still there. I'm copying the large MS Flight Sim folder now. Many thanks - mine is also the DP Edition - I'll give this a go. I must say I have never seen a more user unfriendly installation or uninstall process in any Microsoft Software. The move to the external drive first may have been unnecessary but was not willing to take the chance.

This removed the app and after that I was able to go to the external HD and remove the large 108GB Folder, but again was unable to remove the empty Program Files and WindowsApps folders. Then I right clicked on the Microsoft Flight Simulator app and selected 'Uninstall'. I just created a new folder copied them into it and placed it in another folder out of sight.Ģ. Still working on that but at least all the space was removed from the SSD. Windows 10 would not allow me to remove them. This left 3 empty folders on the Flight Sim SSD, was able to only to delete one of them, the 'Program FIles' and 'WindowsApps' remained.

I did this by following the attached YouTube video, and it worked perfectly. By doing this I at least guaranteed that I could reclaim the space on the SSD. Just to be safe and wanting to make sure I was able to remove the Large 108GB folder from my dedicated Flight Sim SSD, I first moved it to an external hard drive.

The following steps cleaned up my system.ġ. We are really in new territory here, only a few of us apparently having to remove the program. These are the steps I took to uninstall the Deluxe Premium Edition also purchased from the Microsoft Store.
