If the same flight path and termination was found after being intentionally deleted and but still in the system files of his home computer—-why is there any discussion of all of the other possible theories?

  Does the article timcederman linked say that (the flight path found after being deleted)?

    > although initial reports indicated that the track had been intentionally saved by the user, later analysis showed that it was kept only in the system files, and certainly was not meant to be found.

  Because it's not really the same path.

    I’m no expert on the region but looking at these described points on a map they sound very similar. Do you have a link to the leaked report containing the deleted simulation? From Parent’s link: > In 2014, a leaked Malaysian police report revealed that among Zaharie’s saved flight simulator sessions was a very odd route which ran up the Strait of Malacca, turned south after passing Sumatra, and then flew straight down into the Southern Indian Ocean before terminating in the vicinity of the seventh arc. > Not only did the track resemble MH370’s actual flight path, it also contained a number of other intriguing details. >For example, the track wasn’t really a track — rather, it was a series of brief clips lasting no more than a few seconds each, indicating that Zaharie had programmed it in advance then skipped along it to various points without actually playing through the entire hours-long flight. ——— From op’s link: > The pilot of MH370 generally avoided official flight routes from 18:00 UTC (2 am AWST) onwards but used waypoints to navigate on unofficial flight paths in the Malacca Strait, around Sumatra and across the Southern Indian Ocean. The flight path follows the coast of Sumatra and flies close to Banda Aceh Airport,”

      In addition to that it was the only path in his simulator that wasn't skipped through, which gives it special significance.

Anyone seeing this that has any interest aviation disasters, AdmiralCloudberg (author of article linked in parent) produces some of the best disaster write-ups I've found online. They post an article every Saturday, each covering a different disaster. Doesn't shy away at all from the technical details but they're easily digestible even to laymen with little-to-no background knowledge of aviation. There's a back catalogue of ~100 articles so far, guarantee you'll learn something from each one.
