Installing on a different driver

[Martyson]

I have not deleted the zipped or unzipped files, although am I not going to have to keep them in case I need to use the setup file for an update or an uninstall?
I found all those files on my C:, they might be what you say they are.. I cannot say for sure.
I sent a few pictures earlier, but one of them is in the ProgramData->Lockheed Martin folder in the C: drive, and the other one is in the
Users->name->AppData->Roaming->Lockheed Martin folder.

@ nowhereman ,

The P3D files in :
ProgramData->Lockheed Martin folder in the C: drive, and the other one is in the
Users->name->AppData->Roaming->Lockheed Martin folder.

are small and need to stay there.

You do not have to delete the downloaded ZIP /UnZIP .
But if you do to save drive space can be re-downloaded from your account at any later date.

How big are your drives and how much space remains on each.

My thought is you may need much larger drive(s)?

Edit: in you first post you mention 113GB install on C drive.
How did you determine that?

[nowhereman]

I have roughly 150gb left on my C: - the reason I wanted to ensure P3D installs on my E: and not my C: is because I intend to heavily use scenery and add-ons for P3D, and 150gb would definitely not cut it also considering that it has my OS on it and I do not wish to live on little space in the future hahah. Overall knowing how much there is to upgrade in the simulator, a 2gb SSD (E:) would be far more suitable..
As for the 113gb on my C: are shown in my Windows settings -> System -> Storage

@ nowhereman,

You meant 2TB , correct?

[nowhereman]

That is correct. My apologies - 2gb would be quite the issue !

@ nowhereman,

"Windows settings -> System -> Storage "

Also:
Look in WIN10 Settings, Apps, Programs and Features for the P3D Content, scenery etc files sizes.
But, you do not see where it is?
Not all on your C drive.

Might this be what you are referring to?

@ nowhereman,

Yes, did you add , get the total?

And, it was installed today.

Edit:
The hidden P3D files are in here with other applications.
The are hidden for a reason:
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache

[nowhereman]

It's 113gb as you already know, and the entire P3D folder I got in E: is roughly 90gb at the moment. The 22.8gb missing is the installer I would assume

@ nowhereman,

Do you have Add-ons installed in the P3D folder for the 90GB total ?

I have 45.6 GB

Note:
In a previous post you mentioned:
"Edit: I checked the P3D folder's properties I made in E: and the folder's size shot up from 50mb to 90gb. "

[nowhereman]

No, no addons. Which version have you got? Could differ perhaps

@ nowhereman,

You have had problems.

What caused this ?:
I checked the P3D folder's properties I made in E: and the folder's size shot up from 50mb to 90gb. "

Have you rechecked it?

[nowhereman]

Yes, the folder's properties took a moment to calculate the size of itself, cannot say that it didn't surprise me !

@ nowhereman,

I assume it is still 40 GB too much.

What caused it? At some point you noticed it.
My thought is you UnZipped something in that folder?

[nowhereman]

I couldn't guess... I will keep looking - but I'm uncertain about this.

@ nowhereman,

You could check the properties / size of each folder and file in the P3D main folder.

You would be looking for a 40GB problem.
