A few of my nusspli downloads got interrupted and the files still seem to be taking up space, although they are completely unusable, so I'd like to delete them but I don't know where they're located on my sd card. Does anybody know where those things are located ?

Downloads or installs?

Downloads you can just continue by downloading the same title again or delete from the install folder in the root of the storage medium you downloaded to.

Installs you need to clear the /usr/import/ folder of the storage medium you installed to (or just go to system settings -> data management. It should ask you to delete garbage).

//EDIT: Also make sure to reboot after deleting the files as there seems to be an error with the FTP tools.

I actually don't know wether it was only downloads or if there were also some failed installs as well. I went on the data management setting on my Wii U and wasn't asked to delete garbage. Does that mean I don't have anything to worry about anymore ?

I’ve tried to continue a download using this method, but it always says insufficient storage

Also make sure to use latest NUSspli version, the ones before had a small bug with the free size check which might be hitting you depending on your download and install settings @TheAvacado .

I'm having this same issue, I have some nusspli downloads on my USB that I don't have space to install and I cannot delete them, with ftpiiu I cannot get into the directories, I'm able to see the storage usb folder but when I go inside of it it gives an error and I cannot delete or even see the files.
