It is blocked for a specific reason.
There is no need for a user to access or modify these files.
Under Settings, Apps and under Microsoft Flight Simulator,
you have the capability to do anything you need to do.
Move, Uninstall and then under Options, repair or reset FS2020.

Above in this Thread I stated:
For MS Store:
The download program will download the initial 1.6 GB which is installed on the
C:\ drive.
(Actually the boot drive. The boot drive is the drive you have Win 10 installed.
it is the drive tat Win 10 boots from. Can be any drive, F:, M:, T:)
After this is downloaded and installed, the download program will ask you where you want FS2020 installed.
You can tell it to install on a different drive other than the boot drive
if you want to. This s the additional 170 GB of the download.
I had my install go to:
1.06 GB to the C: drive.
Additional 170 GB to the D: drive.
I had a C:\ drive failure. Installed Win 10 to a new SSD.
The D:\ drive was not affected.
Went to MS Store. Selected install.
Download program downloaded the initial 1.06 GB.
Then asked where to install FS2020.
I said D:\ drive.
Screen flickered for an instance and FS2020 loaded and ran.
I was surprised because I was expecting to have to download the additional 170 GB.
Also, due to a motherboard failure, replaced the MB. FS2020 would not load and run.
I went to Settings, Apps and under Microsoft Flight Simulator App,
clicked “Uninstall”.
The “Uninstall” deleted FS2020 from the C:\ (boot) drive.
It did not delete FS2020 from the D:\ drive.
Same thing. MS Store downloaded the initial 1.06 GB.
Asked where to install the additional 170 GB.
I said D:\ drive.
Immediately, FS2020 loaded and ran.
