The ACE should uninstall when you uninstall the 757.

Try this:

Delete the 757 ACE shortcut in the Start Menu (in the Captain Sim folder).
Then go to the FSX\Captain_Sim\757 folder and delete the ace folder. If there is nothing else in the 757 folder, you can delete it as well. Doing that should get rid of everything for the 757 in the FSX\Captain_Sim folder.

Reinstall the 757 Captain, and it will install everything again.

Note. Reinstalling the 757 Captain normally overwrites the previous files anyway, so even if they are there, they are replaced when you reinstall.

That didn’t work either it says “you need permission to perform this action. You require permission from the computers administrators to make changes this file” I do use Windows 10 if that makes any difference.

I take it you're using Windows 10 Home edition. That would mean that the best way to install, or uninstall, the 757 Captain, would be to right click on the installer/uninstaller, and select "Run as administrator" from the list if it's available. Try that with reinstalling the 757 Captain, and then uninstall it, to see if it uninstalls the ACE when you uninstall it. It's worth a shot.

I have Windows 10 Pro, and because of that, I don't know exactly what Windows 10 Home edition users can, or can't, do. Undecided

Unfortunately I don’t have the Un installer that came with the plane. Is there any chance i could find a link to install the ace?

The uninstaller is "installed" when you install the 757. That is why I said to install the 757 (right click on the installer, and select the "Run as administrator" option if available).
After it's installed, go to the Win 10 Start Menu > Captain Sim and right click on the link to uninstall the 757, and select the "Run as administrator" option (if it's available).
Doing that should remove everything to do with the 757, except anything you might have added to it after it's installed (like liveries).

Note. The Windows 10 Start Menu is that square box on the left side of the Task Bar (if the task bar is at the bottom of the screen) - The one that brings up the Tiles.

Evan, you need to have Administrator rights on your computer to install our products correctly.

I know how to run things in admin mode but I tried doing that for the ace file and it would not let me get rid of it
