Correct removal of modules

[BrassEm]

G'day,

I was hoping to free up some SSD space by removing some modules.

I went through the module manager installed tab option, and check marked the modules I wanted to remove entirely. Then clicked the "Delete selected".

The modules no longer appear in module manager under the installed tab, but the files are still on the SSD. How do I get the files off my SSD to free up space without breaking DCS?

Thanks

Hi, 

that sounds odd, 

can you attach your autoupdate_log.txt and your dcs log, we can look for clues. 

thank you

G'day BigNewy,

I have included some screenshots also.

Launcher Screenshot 2025-08-16 070050.jpg shows that modules removed from the list and flagged in the "Available" button.

Launcher a Screenshot 2025-08-16 070144.jpg shows the available modules for install.

DCS start a Screenshot 2025-08-16 070533.jpg shows 4 modules flagged available for install by the red 4 over the modules button on the start screen.

DCS start Screenshot 2025-08-16 070412.jpg shows modules that are available to install after DCS is started.

Even though the files are still in their install directories, a selected module is redownloaded again.


Also Is there any way to remove the install prompt for just those particular modules? I don't want it to effect other modules such as the soon to be released C130 for example.

 

Thanks for your assistance with this issue.
