Rolling cach help!

[Baba Bomba]

So i created a 300Gb cahce on the ssd but want to lower the number.
To my very big suprise that is not poscible in FS2024!

I looked online and someone explained on youtube that you needed to create a folder with new name for Rolling cache and then select that folder.
The standard Rolling cache sice should revert back to normal.....but it didn,t and i get a messages as well that lowering cache number was not possible.

Then i read that one should delete the cache folder manully and reinstall FS2024.
That also did not work.

Now so after doing this a couple of times making a new Rolling Cache folder and manulay keeping delting it to no avail, i suddenly see that my ssd space has been drasticly reduces in size.
Lost more then 1Gb drive space.

SOLVED! Thanks for help!

What I did was go into the location where my rolling cache is located (E:\MSFS 2024 Rolling Cache) and simply deleted the rolling cache file inside. Started MSFS 2024 and it was back at 16GB. Set a new size and it worked.

Simply delete the .CCC file in your rolling cache folder. When starting the game afterwards the rolling cache will reset to default size (16.0 GB) and you can increase and/or move it again in settings. There is nothing more simple than that.

Also maybe your drive space was spilled by all your activities trying to reset the cache. When you define a new rolling cache in settings the system will block the specified disc space for the cache instantly. Means if you set it to 500 GB it will block 500 GB of space instantly without even having downloaded a single byte yet.
Search your drive by using the windows explorer search for *.CCC which is the rolling cache file ending. Delete them all, start the game, go into settings and set the cache to your desire and delete the old .CCC file that will be created at startup time in case you moved the cache to a new location.
