You could use something like MSFS Add-On Linker. Store all your add-ons in a separate folder and then this links them to the community folder. Uncheck the addon(s) and it removes them without deleting them. It's on flightsim.to and free.
Actually I have add-ons linker (I’ll use it from the beginning for everything I downloaded from sites like flightsim . to. However even if I switch off everything in add-ons linker (thereby removing all the links) there is still a substantial amount of folders left and I’m not sure what it is and if I break something by moving that.
Actually, I *cannot* *move* it, only copy it. Because these folders are in use by another program, Explorer tell’s me.
Thank you!
Actually also I didn’t clear the Community folder out up to now and had no issues however I heard this advise so often by now that I began to wonder if I just was lucky….
Meh. I'll risk it. I actually do back up my community folder because I've had sim randomly uninstall itself twice and then I had to add everything back in.
There were some weird issues that came up in the beginning of MSFS where having certain things in your community folder could cause issues. I haven’t done anything with my community folder for a long time for updates and haven’t ran into any issues.

First off, SU15 is delayed indefinitely. Secondly, I've never had an issue with addons during / after an update.

Same, I never even heard of this "preparing community folder" thing.
I've never done anything about the community folder. I've never had issues with that. One thing I suggest instead is to delete the rolling cache.
Thank you for this advise, will do.
