I want to remove the game debris and do a clean install.

from

PS

The disk installation path is this

C:\Users\TAKO\AppData\Local\MSFSPackages



This is the download installation path

C:\\Users\TAKO\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages



After uninstalling both of them with the uninstaller, I manually deleted the above two folders because they were not working properly.



However, the remnants still seem to be there.

After installing the game in this state, the game still worked incompletely. The nameplates only showed what they had shown before, the others were hidden.



Is there some kind of registry left?

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the left thumbstick on your Xbox Series X controller. It's possible that the thumbstick is not properly calibrated or that there is some debris stuck under the thumbstick. To fix this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Calibrate the thumbstick.

2. Clean the thumbstick and the area around it. Use a soft cloth and some rubbing alcohol to gently clean the thumbstick and the area around it. This can help remove any dirt or debris that may be causing the issue.

3. Check for debris. If there is debris stuck under the thumbstick, it could be causing the thumbstick to register as being pressed when it is not. Carefully inspect the thumbstick and use a small tool, such as a toothpick or a pin, to remove any debris that you find.

4. Check the controller's firmware. Make sure that you have the latest firmware installed on your controller.

If none of these steps fix the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the controller itself. In this case, you may need to consider sending in your controller to have it repaired/replaced.

I tried to clean my mouse, use another mouse, clean my table, clean my laptop.

I don't know if the debris did it or there is other type of error.
