You do not have enough space on this disk

Hello Alan, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

Not a Microsoft employee.

I would like to confirm, at the moment, the space previously used to install the game wasn’t deleted, correct?

Additionally, did you try to install the game on the system / C: partition, or you wanted to use another partition to install the game?

Lastly, did you download the game from the Microsoft Store, Xbox app, or did you use Steam?

Thank you, Alan.

Please try taking ownership of the folder associated with Flight simulator. Once you did this process, delete the folder from your drive.
Make sure to empty the Windows bin.

I would like to confirm, at the moment, the space previously used to install the game wasn’t deleted, correct?
r: no it wasnt deleted and msfs currently takes up 163gb

Additionally, did you try to install the game on the system / C: partition, or you wanted to use another partition to install the game?

r: on the c drive

Lastly, did you download the game from the Microsoft Store, Xbox app, or did you use Steam?

r: xbox app, but it downloaded the client so i can open it from both the microsoft store and xbox app



so how much storage do i need to install the standard version of msfs, as i might just not have enough on my disk

Thanks for the additional information, Alan.

Let’s try to get this space back, please try resetting the Microsoft store cache by using the wreset.exe command.

Additionally, I would like to ask, if you open the Windows file explorer and go to this path:
My computer > Local drive (C > XboxGames or to this other path:
