I was trying to download the most recent update and due to me going out of range of the wifi the update hung. Now this unfinished download is preventing me from updating.

The update screen shows: "Update requires 500 MB of free space. 400 MB currently available."

I have been trying to find the location where sailfish downloads these files, but couldn't manage to do so. Where are those interrupted downloads? I have restarted the phone to prevent sailfish from keeping it open. Available space:

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ df -h

I couldn't find out exactly where this is stored. I have managed to shrink my home partition and grow the root, which eliminates the problem. Problem is that now it's showing it has an update 'ready to install', even though it never executed a full download. Chances are I'll brick the thing if I try to install it.

If unsure, do the update on the command line (ssu re 3.0.3.8 and version --dup) it's a bit more reliable in my user's experience.
