If my installation of MSFS2020 is corrupted can I unstall and re-install it?

I found the problem thanks to Bernie on the Prosim737 forum. The issue arises when you don't install MSFS2020 on the same drive as Windows in the default location. I'm going to try a couple of work arounds that were suggested but if they don't work I will have to re-install MSFS2020 in the default location.

I uninstalled MSFS2020 through the Xbox Store, checked the Community folder to make sure it was empty, the I re-downloaded MSFS2020 and installed it again. Then I re-downloaded Prosim738 and the install worked okay. I was going to install some new aircraft liveries but first I copied Prosim738 from the Community folder to make a backup copy (which was strongly suggested) but when I tried to paste it to a different folder I got the same error: "Your organization does not allow you to place this file here. The problem is apparently not with Prosim738 or MSFS2020 but some setting in Windows 10 or something else that is stopping me from making any changes in the Community folder.

Do I uninstall from Windows 10 Apps or does Xbox have an uninstall?

Hello Jerrymc333,

I also found an article related with your concern, though this is on a different game the errors message you are getting is present. Kindly check this article answered by Greg Carmack:

Your organization does not allow you to place this file here - Microsoft Community

Problem solved. I was able to use a program called Total Commander to zip and unzip the folders to the drive I wanted them on. Then I changed the cfg file to point to that location. Uninstalling MSFS2020 wasn't even necessary.
