I understand your problem. Sometimes when you cancel a download, temporary files may continue to take up space on your hard drive.

Disk Cleanup: Click Start, type “disk” in the search box, and select Disk Cleanup for (C

. In Disk Cleanup, select the disk you want to clean. Next, the space that you can free up on the C: drive will be calculated. And then choose to delete the files you don't need

Delete files manually: Select Start > Settings > Cleanup recommendations > storage > system

Disk Cleanup in Windows: Under Disk Cleanup, select Clean up system files. Select the file types you want to get rid of. To get a description of some type of file, select it. Select Accept

First, I would like to know which console or device you are using to provide you with a correct solution. Apart from this problem, don't you receive any additional error messages?

I am attentive to your response.

Mine gets stuck at 16% and then says "can't download assassins creed iv" and it cancels the download. The 8GB is still taken up on the drive, even though it doesn't show it. Can restart the download but it fails again at the exact same point.

Hi,

While downloading Metro Exodus I cancelled the download after some 10min. My disk space was around 120-130GB and once I started the download it went down to 55-60GB (I'm just writing estimates).

After cancelling the download the disk space remains 55-60GB. I've tried disk cleanup, cleaned delivery optimization files, and nothing.

What can I do to fix this?

Hi!!!

Probably is glitch on the xbox sistem, wait a couple of hours and it should be solved.

If the problem persist, contact http://beta.support.xbox.com/contact-us for more information
