    download failed but it consumed my free storage


    I had about 85 gb free and decided to download forza horizon 4. the game required about 78 gb so i pressed install and let it download. after a couple of hours a message appeared in my screen saying download failed cuz of unsufficient space. then i checked and i had 19 gb free and no forza horizon 4. i believe that some files from the game were downloaded but i cant find them. i cant download the game again cuz it requires 78 gb and i dont know what files should i delete so i can free some space. what should i do?

    :)

    KB4025339 Fails Install 0x80070564

    Thanks
    I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

    At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
    Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

    If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

    Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

    I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!

    Conflicting information on my Storage Space...

    From disk management, it does report the same storage and used space as from explorer.
    May I ask did you try to create a storage pool or something ? if so, you should not mess with this.

    Is this disk an external disk connected via USB ? WD or Seagate branch ?

    I have the feeling that this disk is formatted with GPT type using 512K emulation so Windows get confused. To verify:


    1. Right click on Disk 6 ->Properties->Volumes. What does it show on partition styles ? GPT ?
    2. Download Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition Free, install then run. What does it show on disk 7 ? MBR ?

    If step 1 shows GPT and step 2 shows MBR then definitely the disk was formatted using 512K emulation. The reason they did this so that it would be recognized by WinXP or if you connect it to a TV.

    Windows Updates failed is another problem you have. First, it tried to updates from 1703 -> 1709 and failed so any subsequent updates to 1803 also failed.

    download failed but it consumed my free storage

    Repeated windows 10 downloads failed.

    Windows 10 download failed according to the updates list. Windows 10 downloads failed three times yesterday the 28th and four times today.

    Updates list Windows 10 failed to download. I followed the suggested links to find out why, to no avail.

    80240020 is the error code.
