How to totally un install MSFS

[Romeo_Tango 143]

Hi all 

,My MSFS is f...d .

I did a flight a few days ago, and as I landed I realized I had no control. My Honeycomb yoke and Saitek rudder pedals had no effect on the airplane, though they show connection in the windows control panel. They also show response in MSFS sensitivity setting interface.

Another thing happening is that at MSFS start up the airplane engine is running and manually shutting down the airplanes doesn't help because a MSFS ghost simply restarts the airplane. 

I hoped that todays update would have taken care of the problem. Wishful thinking.

I want to give MSFS one more try before abandoning this 'early release' platform.

I spent over 12hours doing a re install this past weekend only to have the problem unchanged.

 

Can someone in the know, please guide me on how to completely remove all traces of MSFS so I can do a truly 'clean' install of MSFS.

Its clear that just using windows 'add remove programs' leave stuff behind because after a 're install', all my settings and preferences are exactly what they were before.

 

Thanks in advance.

The settings are kept in the cloud and are restored after a fresh install.

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately that information is a waste of time. I did that, and all I did was waste 12 hours. The problem including all my MSFS settings were exactly what they were before.

Have you tried deleting any customised control settings within the sim and reset the sim to default settings before uninstalling the sim? That should address the issue of settings stored in the cloud.

Personally I redirect the main sim install to a pre-created folder, preferably on another drive, outside the default MS locations. It may be coincidence but I don't seem to suffer many of the issues that others have posted. I also don't have the issues with access permissions that others have posted.
