If a download is canceled or interrupted, these temporary files can consume HDD space and cause issues with subsequent downloads. Navigate to /dev_hdd0/vsh/task/ using an FTP client or MultiMAN's File Manager and delete any orphaned temporary files. Alternatively, a simple system restart will cause the PS3 to automatically purge incomplete background download tasks. If restarting doesn't help, manually delete the folder corresponding to the problematic download (usually containing a name like NPEB , NPUB , etc.) from /dev_hdd0/packages/ .
