Storage management is broken and won't let me reinstall apps that were moved and deleted.

I just got a 8TB Samsung SSD 870 QVO. Initially it seemed to work. After formatting to NTFS on my PC, I attached it via USB 3 cable and my Series X|S asked me to format it to games. It did that.

I then wanted to do some housekeeping and move everything off my Internal and expansion card.

Copying seemed to have been going well, but then I kept getting all these "Moving stopped Errors" for the last 20ish items (I have over 1000 games).

After a reboot the SSD is no longer even recognized (plugged in, out, powered down, etc.) so all that data is locked away on this drive now.

Unfortunately, I can't even report this problem because the insider app needs to be re-downloaded, but I can't. It looks like it's about to download, but then just disappears from the queue and does not install. I'm stuck in this loop now, can even install apps.

I'm guessing it still tied to the SSD, but that won't show up as storage anymore.
