How to delete partial download of Mavericks

Hi,
I started to download Mavericks on my Mac Book Pro and then paused it about half way through.  Reviewing the comments that others have had, I'd like to delete the partial download and wait to load Mavericks when some of the bugs are worked out.  However, I can't figure out how to delete the partial download. Already my Mac is running much slower than it used to.  Any ideas?
Thanks....

You cannot until App Store finishes the download or cancels it. You cannot cancel it but you can turn Pause off to continue.
There is nothing wrong with Mavericks. It certainly works as well for me as did Mountain Lion.
Nevertheless, after the download is completed the installer will launch on its own. If you prefer to do nothing, then just Quit the installer.

  • How to delete partially downloaded movie from ipad

    I tried to download an HD movie to iTunes, but there was not enough space for it. I cannot get rid of the partially downloaded movie. Already tried reset, but that didn't solve anything.

    If you're viewing the Purchased screen and see a cloud icon next to the movie, it isn't on the iPad and you can hide it by swiping.
    What is the available storage on the iPad? You can check by tapping Settings > General > Usage. Try looking through the list of apps and removing something that you don't think you  want anymore, if there is anything. I'm guessing you're gonna need a few gigs free to avoid running into the download/playback problems.
    You can always re-download stuff.

    how to delete the downloading items in itunes?

    Unfortunately, this doesn't work. If you let them download and delete them, they just download again at some point in the future. I've been trying to figure this one out myself, but so far, every time I remove something, it comes back "later".

    How to delete Itunes downloads permenatly

    If they have not finished downloading yet, you can either let them finish and the right click on the file and select delete or contact Apple support to have them remove the file from your download queue. I've contacted them in the past to have this done and they have no problem doing this. Contact Apple by clicking on support at the top of the forum and then clicking on contact us on the page that opens.
    If you want to delete shows or songs from iTunes, right click on one and select delete.

  • Cancel or delete partially downloaded rental movie on iPad... how?

    I have a partially downloaded rental movie on my iPad in iTunes which I would like to cancel.
    I have searched high and low, and it seems the only way I can do this is to connect to a computer which is not possible for me at this time. I was wondering if anybody had any other ideas on how I can achieve this?
    Here are things I have already tried:
    - In the downloading section of iTunes, swiping left to write and selecting the delete button. Swiping does nothing, no delete button appears.
    - in Settings, General, Usage, Movies, choosing Edit and deleting... The movie doesn't appear in this section
    If anybody can help, please do?
    - Ta, Krista.

    I know i am replying to an old thread but thought someone else might find this useful. I paused the partial download, then wrote an email to Apple via the support link for iTunes store requesting that the download be removed from the queue explaining why ( in my case because i purchased HD instead of SD) and about 1 hour later received an email from Apple saying they cancelled my download and even offered me a refund. Not bad service I say.

  • How to remove partially downloaded files in 10.6

    I could not find any recent helpful answers via Google, but eventually discovered, by trial and error, that you need to delete the failed downloads in three places namely:
    /Library/Updates (this is probably unnecessary)
    and the *two* files here:-
    /private/var/folders/<complicated long path>/<name>
    where <name> ends in .pkg and also in .pkg.resumeData (i.e. the "same name" twice)
    I found out where these were being saved by (*immediately* after the update-failure), typing
    find /private/var/folders -newerct "1 minute ago" -name "*.resumeData"
    and sure enough, these corresponded to the failed downloads. I removed them with
    sudo rm /private/var/folders/<complicated long path discovered via find/<name>.pgk
    sudo rm /private/var/folders/<complicated long path discovered via find/<name>.pgk.resumeData
    and then the software update started working again instead of always aborting with e.g. "iTunes: partially downloaded" etc.
    The reason for the original failure is my poor internet service that constantly breaks halfway through any long-ish downloads.
    An example of the actual filepath on my 10.6.8 Mac OSX is:
    /private/var/folders/02/027LjtRMGXSZNggzpqLQg++++TI/-Caches-/com.apple.SoftwareU pdate/swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/<same amount again in length>
    in other words, really long winded and very difficult to find (I have been trying to do this all day and could not find anything via the www) - I hope it helps you!

    I deleted the 76% partially downloaded updates from hd>library>updates
    now im at 11% where would I find the rest and how?
    thanks.

    Thanks for inform. The simplified chinese character is just ugly to read
    But you never have to read it unless you go to the trouble of using the "Define" function after you select a word.
    Or are you talking about something else?

  • How to delete video download on ipod touch 4g

    i started to download the free season of pan am when i noticed that it was in HD and now i want to delete them and download the sd versions of then. Because in hd they are all 1.4gb
    So is there any way to delete it download on ipod touch 4g

    My daughter accidentally deleted a video that I captured with my iPod Touch 4G. Fortunately between the time I took the video and the time she deleted it, I had connected my iPod to my computer (but had not imported the video).
    However, when you connect the iPod, it does an automatic back-up and back up video and photo files as well.
    To recover it, I had to explore the back-up created the last time I connected my iPod using this tool:

  • How can I delete partially downloaded music albums from my iPad 2?

    I bought what I thought was an album from the ITunes store. Turned out to be a jumble of songs from several albums which went everywhere. I hate a mess like that so I decided to just delete all the songs. Now I am left with partial albums with no cover art and songs that don't even play. I can't delete them directly from my iPad and syncing with iTunes won't get rid of them either. Am I stuck with them?

    If the iPad is on IOS 7, you will need the previous owner's Apple ID and Password to:
    1. Turn off Find My iPhone
    2. Erase device
    3. Reactivate device

  • HT201272 How do I delete partially downloaded purchases forever?

    iTunes continues to download purchases that I have already watched.  Since I have already watched it on TV, I do not want to take up the space on my HD.  But it can not be stopped until the entire series has been downloaded. Help me. Running out of space.

    I have this same problem. I have deleted it from my computer. I have synced my iphone. It is not deleted. No amount of swiping has done anything.
    So far, the only option seems to be to let the tv episodes download for the next 4 hours and then delete them.

    If you want to download them from iTunes then you will need to pay for them.
    If you've already purchased them from iTunes but no longer have them on your iPad then you might be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app
