March 28, 20242 yr Hi all, This morning, I opened my community folder and it is completely empty! All the addon's that I've installed over the past couple of years are no longer there. The sim runs fine, but Fenix, Inibuilds, Black Square, Just Flight, Flysimware, etc... aircraft are not in the sim any longer. I'm assuming any sceneries that I've installed are missing as well. This is the Premium version of MSFS and I've never participated in any of the betas of the sim. I've searched all the drives on my computer and cannot find the items that were in there. I've checked the recycle bin as well. I shudder at the thought of having to re-install everything again.

March 28, 20242 yr Sounds awful!! How on earth does that happen, I wonder <???>. Is this Steam or MS Store? However - if you *do* have to re-add everything, then do yourself a huge favour by using Addon Linker. You'll be able to place most of your addons in any location *outside of the Community folder*. It's much safer, as the only things that get put in there are symbolic links.

March 28, 20242 yr Author Found it!! When I was going to open it this morning, I must have dragged it into another folder and when I launched MSFS it of course created a new folder which was empty.. Whew, that was a relief!! "...now let's get this thing on the hump - we've got some flyin' to do!" ~ Major Kong from "Dr. Stranglove" Scott Cebula

March 28, 20242 yr Managed to do that or delete a few addons that way a few times. Windows search will normally locate them for me.

March 28, 20242 yr Yep, been there, done that. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
March 28, 20242 yr So as usual in these cases: User error. It's not like folders magically delete themselves.
