April 23, 20215 yr Hello! I need to clear some space on my C drive. I have both FS9 and FSX installed on the C drive. I have not used FS9 for a long time and likely will not use in the near future. So.............the question. If I uninstall FS9 will that impact any operations within FSX? Thanks in advance for suggestions etc.
April 23, 20215 yr They are two completely separate programs, so one should not affect the other. However, depending on what add-ons you have, there is a small possibility, that a particular add-on files are shared between the two and may be affected.

April 24, 20215 yr You're fine. Go ahead and uninstall it. There will be no impact on FSX.

April 24, 20215 yr FS9 and FSX are two completely separate things, go ahead and uninstall FS9 and your FSX installation will remain unchanged.

April 24, 20215 yr There is a (slim) possibility that if you had some add-on installed which was compatible with both sims and you installed for both sims at the same time, that the installer may have put the files in FS9 and aliased them to FSX in order to not have them take up space in two installations, but this is a very slim possibility and in any case even if an installer did do that, you could simply reinstall that add-on, so there's no reason to worry about uninstalling it, although personally, I'd give the FS9 airplane folder a once-over look, just to make sure you weren't losing anything you really wanted to keep.
