HOW TO FIX DISK SPACE PROBLEM

Recommended Posts

I am running PSD v5.3 with ORBX, PMDG, Majestic DASH 8 and a few Carenado planes and weather.

HD is 475gb with 92gb free.  Disk full warning pops up but not all the time.  I have a second drive 475 gb.

Can I uninstall any addons and re-locate them to the second drive, and if so, will this cause issues?

Yes and no, no problem with a different drive. I have mine spread across 3 drives. Just don't forget to change the install locations.

Best of luck and have a good weekend down under 🙂

Are you sure you have 92GB free? If that is actually the case you do not need to free up anything.

Cheers!

Hi Kevin,

One thought: If you have Orbx installed, depending upon how much land class and regions you have installed, Orbx Central will let you create an external Library at a completely different location. So if your Orbx LC and regions were located on the sim drive, you could move that scenery on to the other drive.

Good luck with the move!

Msg is generated by the disk maint software.  I will grab it next time it appears.
