Ok, here is the deal.  Base package install, $1.00 try out.  I dont fly outside of the US.  I am a private pilot IRL with about 1,200 hours.  So I dont need custom international airports and dont need the training tutorials.  I noticed in the My Content that I could delete these, so I did (to save space).  Well when I went to start the game a day later, I had to update (no other options).  So guess what it did? It reinstalled all those items again.  So I fully understand here - you either have all of it or none of it.

This cant be true - certainly. Your experiences?

I think auto reinstalling content you deleted is on the fix list of the first patch, next week sometime

Currently this feature is bugged, You need to manually delete the layout.json files and manifest.json files inside each airport you want removed, but you must leave the scenery folder inside each airport in \MS2020\Official\OneStore\, otherwise as you found out the game just reinstalls it again. But If you want to delete them completely to save disk space that will not work until the patch is released. My method is to remove that airport for custom scenery to work.
