If your drive was filled due to oodles and oodles of add-ons, what you could have done if you had, or have, an external hard drive, is to create a "Storage hanger" and trimmed down your sim object folder and store those aircraft that you downloaded and only flew once, on the external drive (Just keep the default aircraft and your absolute favorites in FSX).

I did that still I had very very low space.

Every now and again I have to get a new Hard Drive, and start all over again....

I accumulate so much "stuff" in my Hard drive that trying to un-install/delete some of it makes very little difference to the remaining space!

Bite the bullet, and start again, with a new slate!... ...!

They don't cost much, nowadays...(Slates and Hard Drives)... ...!

Paul....with a room full-up with old, full-up, Hard Drives!... ...!

Now is not the best time to purchase a hard drive. Thailand floods send PC hard drive prices soaring

D*** that sucks.

I got a 1.5TB external drive off ebay for less than 50 english pounds. I put all sorts of rubbish on it to keep it off my main H/D......

I have a few suggestions.

I got a flash memory stick at walmart 8 gigs for 15 bucks
I store planes on it to keep memory space
if I need a certain plane and its stored I go get and put it back in sim object airplanes they have 16 gigs and 32 gig also! you can store a lot of airplanes on 8 gig one!
