Windows 10: I am unable to install a program specifically Sea of Theives from the Microsoft Store.

When I click the install button, it turns gray for a short time and then turns back to blue again and nothing happens. The download does not start. I tried to install it on an external hard drive, so to see if that was the issue, I tried installing it on an internal drive instead, which did not resolve the problem.

Problems with installing and updating apps on Microsoft Store (Windows 10)

I had sea of theives installed on the Microsoft Store and it needed to update but I didn't have enough space in my c drive error 0x80070070. And then I couldn't get enough space in my c drive which it was currently installed in, so I went on 'add or remove programs' and uninstalled sea of theives from there, so that I could then change the installation drive to f drive(215GB free) and re install it. But when I went back on to the Microsoft store and changed the installation drive to f drive, sea of theives still had the need more disk space error 0x80070070, and when I press cancel download or the retry button nothing happens. What I think has happened is that it still thinks I have sea of theives installed and is still trying to update it but then gets confused when I click retry or cancel download because I don't have it installed anymore. I'm not sure how to fix it but I think it would be something like resetting the Microsoft Store? I have already tried resetting my pc and can't think of anything else to try.
