Question Steam Downloading Failing

[georgens]

I didnt know what to list this under but, basically I am unable to download games onto my ssd where steam is installed, it just brings up the allocating disc space while downloading it and then cancels and uninstalls automatically, i've tried reinstalling steam, and changing the download location it just says that the drive already has a download location, what am i meant to do i've tried everything but any help appreciated

What's the SSD capacity?

250 gigs, its not even close to full ive had it on it before easily, ive managed to sort of get it working, i set it to download and quit steam then reloading it back up it seems to be working but it should just do it normally i shouldn't have to do that

Maybe the pc just needed a restart.

Try clearing the download cache. Most download related problems this solves it for me when i use steam
