Hi, I bought the Digital copy and Relaunched it and it's still saying I need the MFS disc copy
MSFS2020 asking for game disc when i bought digital version off Xbox store.
I was trying to startup msfs2020 when it said "Please insert the Microsoft Flight Simulator game disc. I bought it as a digital copy and have no idea why this is happening. I've seen another post about this that was a long time ago. someone replied saying you need to redownload the digital rights management, but the link doesn't work anymore. I checked my folders and saw it had a Digital Ownership folder and I looked through that. I could only find two files that were in the settings folder called roaming.lock and settings.dat. all the other folders were empty so I'm not sure if something were deleted but that's all I could find. for the moment I won't be able to play msfs2020 as I don't know a fix.

Glad you got it fixed.
"But i still dont know why it did that"
The reason it prompts for MSFS2020 disk when it's a digital copy is explained here:

I thought the bug was fixed quite a while ago but it may have come back to visit before the restart.
I hope it helps. Let me know if it comes back, or anything else i can help you with.
