    Flight Simulator 2020: Can't run it, can't uninstall it


    I've installed FlightSim 2020 on a computer not quite up to min specs, so of course it won't run. So I'm trying to uninstall the app so that I can later install it on new computer that meets min requirements. However, I'm unable to uninstall it, neither
    from Control Panel, nor from the application menu, nor from the app settings window. Here's what I get ... and "try again in a bit" doesn't help.

    Another issue is that in Control Panel/Programs the entry for FlightSim shows the icon for FlightSim 2004 (the last one that I owned). Weird. Any ideas what's going on?

    :)

    Can't uninstall Flight Simulator 2020.

    Hi,

    Did you uninstall the launcher but are trying to remove the main data files?

    Once the launcher was installed, the default install for the game is:

    C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\

    That is unless you manualy chose a different location.

    You will need to un-hide the AppData folder in order to access or delete this folder.

    For further help:

    Did you installed the game via Xbox app / Microsoft store?
    If yes, the way to uninstall apps is this:
    Go to windows settings > apps and features > installed app
    Once there scroll down until you find flight sim and delete it from there
