Where is my packages folder?
I have MSFS2020 initially installed at D: so I decided to move it to C: using steam folder moving option, but when I run the game again, It asking me to download 100Gb of fresh content… so where is my existing 100gb of data?
I had looking around these folder, but the size doesn’t match
C:UsersxxxxAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApps[Flight Simulator Folder] <– not exists
C:UsersxxxxAppDataRoamingMicrosoft Flight Simulator <–8Gb only
D:_STEAMsteamappscommonMicrosoftFlightSimulator <– 1.4Gb only

There seems to be some confusion as to where Microsoft Flight Simulator’s “Community” folder is located, and a lot of this confusion is due to where the simulator has been installed (default or custom). Not only this, but there are also differences between the Microsoft Store install and the one purchased from Steam.
If you happened to use the default location for your installation, then you can find it here:
For the Windows Store install:
C:Users[Your User Name]AppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalCachePackages
For the Steam install:
C:Users[Your User Name]AppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalCachePackages
Important: Windows 10 by default hides the “AppData” folder, so you will have to go to “View” in the menu of File Explorer, and select “Hidden items” so as to see it.
For the Custom install:
If you happened to use a custom location for your Flight Simulator installation, then proceed there.
In our case it was: E:SteamsteamappscommonMicrosoftFlightSimulatorCommunity

Is there a directory and file tree for this program somewhere? I spent about 15 minutes poking around with File Explorer and couldn’t find it anywhere. I know it’s there somewhere, it ate up all my space and I’ve got to get a bigger M2. I’m mostly just curious, where the hell have they hidden the dang thing?

No such directory in my computer. In mine, it’s located in C:Users*your pc*AppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Another way to see the file system is to turn on the Developer mode in the options.
A small menu then appears at the top of the screen.
Select Tools then select Virtual file system.
A pop out appears, then select Watched Bases from the list. This drops down and displays the file structure.

It gives you the option of where to install. Sure your AppDataRoamingMicrosoft Flight Simulator will have some data to it, but most is stored elsewhere. I installed mine to K:Microsoft Flight Simulator.

On my PC, the Appdata is a hidden file and I have to work out permissions to get to it even though I’m the lone user of the PC and the admin. Lot more hoops to jump through than FSX. I’m going to be replacing my M2 soon since it’s too small. I guess I’ll pay a little more attention to the install next time.

Its a huge mess.
See this.. I am uninstalling everything and reinstalling. Not sure even now, if I am doing it right.
When you installed from the store, It asked you where to install and you pointed it to a drive. and then when it starts the sim, to download the content it asks you again where to install the content. Why? Does it not know that you have installed the app in some drive you had picked earlier? Any case, I pointed to the same drive and it says, no, it needs a folder. So now I am creating a new sub folder within the same drive.
Why?

Well, that’s just great! i finally found the file that points to msfs2020, there is no such file called “c:users*my pc name*appdataroamingmicrosoft.flight simulator
but i did find a file that relates to it. Still it wont run. Why make it so hard? now i know i should have paid more attention when i downloaded it , i did not see a request to ask where i wanted to store it, but, again, why make it so hard. I’m no geek, i still cant get it to run. Not happy.

I have read all the replies and I really want to ask – what is the reasoning behind MS adopting this kind of file structure?
Why cant the entire sim reside neatly in one folder under (for example) C:Microsoft Flight Simulator ?
MS and its scattergun approach buyring stuff all over the place. Is there a reason?? Or is it done to kind of discourage users from poking around?

To make matters even more confusing if you install on a different drive it will be loaded under a folder called wpsystem .
Basically though if you search the correct drive for a folder with “8wekyb3d8bbwe” in the name that should find it.
