Lepres Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have recently installed P3D and would like to gradually transition from FSX over to P3D (both installed to D Drive). Had purchased numerous Orbx regions and airports for FSX, but whenever I Uninstall regions from FSX (in D drive), while D drive space increased, the C free space *DECREASED* ! Also, whenever I install those purchased regions over to P3D (in D drive), the C space Decreases too ! My C drive is SSD and has very limited space. What can I do to INCREASE the C drive free space? I would like to eventually move most Orbx regions to P3D, leaving only a few at FSX. Any advice most appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hello, you will find the means to prevent Orbx Central from using the C drive on the Downloader page. Please change the temporary location away from the C drive and your problem should go away. It should be noted that the P3D installer also adds the complete extracted download to C:\ProgramData\Package Cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepres Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thank you Nick. Will look into that. My C Package Cache has grown to HUGE size and there is rather little space left in C. Should I delete that cache or move it to D drive? Read online that better to move than delete, but would have to do a mklink the old path to the new path. Is this method of moving safe? Anyone has experience in this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hello, you can indeed move it and link it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepres Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Thanks again Nick. I just realized there is another fix -- move the huge Orbx backup folder to the D drive. Had forgotten that it was on the C all along. So now I have reclaimed back a nice piece of hard disk estate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
