Cleaning up FSX folder and Config entries.

Featured Replies

Hello everyone,

 

Last night, while looking through my FSX main folder, I noticed a large, and I mean large amount of addons that I don't use anymore, or simply forgot I had. I started to clean them out.

 

I uninstalled about 30GB of addons and then went in looking around for traces that they might have left behind.

 

My question is this. Does anyone know of a good way to double check, or clean out your registry for old entries, and the FSX Config, and folder for stuff left behind?

 

I went into the .cfg and deleted the "trusted" entries that I knew what they were, but is there anything else to make them all disappear besides a clean install? I am not too keep on reinstalling, but if that is the only way, then I guess it is what it is.

 

Thanks for any help or hints you guys may have.

This is the freeware program I use for uninstalling programs - http://www.iobit.com/advanceduninstaller.html. Once it completes it goes in and looks for stuff left over in the folder and the system registry and asks you if you want to delete that stuff too.

 

Best regards,
