August 18, 20214 yr Hi, I have the steam version and I installed the game to F:\MSFS 2020 (138 gb). My Package folder is at E:\HDD Games\Community. But I am confused, because I have also a folder at C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator with 17gb. Can I move this folder to another installation path?

This folder contains the core of the sim and can't be moved AFAIK.

On mine, that folder contains a few work files (only), 178 bytes. What specifically is in the 17 GB.. and could it be a link to F? Edited August 18, 20214 yr by Bert Pieke Bert

There are two very big files called MANUAELCACHE.ccc and ROLLINGCACHE.ccc I think, I've found the answer because of your question 🙂 Thank's a lot!

But, you do have the option of specifying your own path when creating those caches. So, if you don't want them where they currently are, start MSFS and go to Options -> Data. Delete both of the current caches and recreate them, this time specifying the path where you want them to be stored. After doing that, you may have to go back to the old location and manually delete the old cache files. ...jim Edited August 19, 20214 yr by JimBrown ASUS Prime Z790-E, Intel i9 13900K, 32Gb DDR5 Ram, Nvidia 3090 24Gb, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB and 1 TB, Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultrawide 49" G-SYNC Monitor.
