Reduce Rolling Cache Not Possible?!

Can anyone help me figure out how to reduce rolling cache size? I accidently increased it to 200 gigs, when I really only wanted 100 gigs 🤦‍♂️, but now the sim is telling me that I can't reduce the cache to something smaller than what I had already set.

Wow ... MSFS 2024 is a laugh a minute!

I just tried the same - same result :(

Close the sim out.  Go find the cache file and delete it, restart the sim and see if it gives you the option again to set the size to 100gb.

Uninstall it and reinstall. It's only a 50gig download. Takes 5 minutes.

Delete the ROLLINGCACHE.CCC file and restart. it will be back to 16 gb.

OK ... so I deleted the rolling cache. It reset it to my original/default (great!) ... but totally ignores the new location I set for it - and carries on writing to the old/default. This gets more weird by the minute ...

I had lots of  CTD's after switching from 16 to 700GB. I went back to 64GB. So far it seems to be stable again. I don't recommend large caches.

When I flew with 16GB default, I had 0 CTD's over many many flights.

Well, mine's being rather stable and CTD-free at 256GB !

Mine is 500GB and I have no problems.

I have a different problem and I can't seem to fix this.

My rolling cache size is allways at 0.0, tried to change it and says invalid number, tried to change the path and says invalid path.

Don't know what to do get the rolling cache to work.

I read one report where the user had set the cache to 1TB, and the sim set it back to 500GB,  so maybe that is the upper limit??

That might be true!
