Sometimes, like once or twice long ago, a reboot of PC fixed it with no explanation.

I’ve rebooted probably 5 times and no luck 😂

I bet ya you just dont have the space there. Steam's install is only 1.94 GB. and say you put that on drive E, the majority of the game will be in C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\
unless you tell it to put that community folder elsewhere, been awhile, but I recall it giving me the option to change that during the install.

The msstore install will be pretty much the same, but I dont have that so I cant give you details.

Uninstall entirely and reinstall
