I am confused by this screen shot. The headline says circuitpython and nrf52840. But your windows folder says micropython. Thats different from circuitpython. And it says esp32s3, not nrf52840. Ok. You…

Looks like you haven't installed the nrfjprog properly. Do you have the Circuitpython binary with you?
Download and install https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Command-Line-Tools/Download

Then try. If it doesn't work for you ( I can't think of any reason) Then you can flash it using JLink software directly.

You must be having the CircuitPython binary right! From your message what I understood is that you need help loading it to the board.
Can you explain what exactly you are trying to do?
If you are an absolute beginner then follow the instructions given the link:

Nope it's not the bootloader. It's a uf2 image of circuitpython. You need uf2-bootloader in-order to run that application

The flow is as follows

resetHandler -> UF2_Bootloader -> Circuit Python image (*.uf2)
