When downloading Rainbow Six: Siege on Steam, it gives me the error "Not enough disk space..."
I tried reinstalling again, but when it reaches 90%, it shows me that error message again, even though I have 120GB free space on my disk drive.

PS : when right-clicking on the game library, and then going to Properties/Browse local files, it redirects me to the the Rainbow Six: Siege game directory, which is empty. If I search the location of the downloaded files during the download, I find that all the downloaded files go to Program Files (86x)/Steam/SteamApps/Downloading

I have already tried:

  • Verifying Integrity of game files;
  • clearing the download cache;
  • repairing the directory folder;
  • and reinstalling steam.

What could be the cause for this?

  • Do you have a different drive you could try installing it on? – Joachim Feb 12 '19 at 13:45
  • @Nassir When you say "More than 30GB free" in your question, it suggests you don't have much more than 30GB. 32-35GB maybe. If you actually have 120GB free (per comments on the answer, below), this will clearly impact the quality of answers you receive. Please update your question with as many details as you can about what you've already done. Be as specific as you can, so we don't waste your time suggesting things you've already checked/tried. – Steve-O Feb 12 '19 at 14:37
  • @Steve-O i make some edits in the question, thanks! – Nassir Feb 12 '19 at 16:25
  • @Joachim nope i have :D which is have 50 GB, so i have 120GB free on the C: btw i was downloading the game and it goes well but this time, didn't :( – Nassir Feb 12 '19 at 16:27
  • Steam always downloads to its downloading folder, before moving everything to the game folder. Are you using Windows 10? Is it an HDD or an SSD you're downloading on? For now, I recommend running Windows' Disk Clean-up, which can be found by searching in the Start menu. My guess is that lots of files are flagged for removal, but not actually removed. – Joachim Feb 12 '19 at 16:38
  • @Joachim ah okey i got you! im using win7 with an SSD ! i already tried to clean my disk : C:/right click properties/clean disk and i launched the download again through steam, for now it gets 60% hopefully it wouldn't stop... – Nassir Feb 12 '19 at 22:04

    You need to show a screenshot of how you determine you have 120 GB free. – Nelson Feb 13 '19 at 01:29
  • Deleted the answer i provided, as you've changed the question. – Stese Feb 13 '19 at 08:30
  • @Nelson Its fixed tho i will add the fix in the command section! – Nassir Feb 13 '19 at 13:58

You have to delete the Download directory in Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps, then go to settings in Steam, and repair your download directory.
Restart steam and restart the download, so you have to wait until it finishes, and it will work.
