There’s an option during uninstall to remove saved flights but otherwise I think the uninstall cleans up. (I didn’t do the FSX installer so I’m not 100% sure.)

This directory is deleted as well as FSX directory in C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\Application Data\Microsoft\. Nothing remains to delelete actually after FSX uninstallation. I just check that this FSX directory is really deleted. I tried also clean boot (as in manual) before reinstalation. I tried also to delete some registry (I searched for "FSX") which remain even after using CCleaner (registry cleaner tool) but the situation is worse with every other reinstallation. I will really appreciate any other tip. I tried so many things and I don´t know what to try next. Thank you Bob for reply.

That's where FSX stores its scenery cache (which is what it's doing when it says "completing setup").

As you know after 1st installation when you start running FSX for the 1st time, Completing Setup window appears. When I reinstall FSX and start it running this window never appears again. In this case SP1, which I install subsequently, causes FSX crash when view is switched to VC. I unistall FSX via Add/Remove programs, then delete all FSX files, use CCleaner to clean Windows registry, restart PC and install FSX. I start it running and there is no Completing Setup window. It looks like FSX is never uninstalled properly. I try to solve this problem 6 months, visited many forums but nothing has helped. Please can you give me any help or tip how to uninstall FSX porperly. I am really desperate. Mario Dear Bob,
