steam failed to move staging folder windows 10 *{Solved}*

Cant seem to resolve this issue have tried adding permissions to the folder but that did not help??

I have the same issue with downloading Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. I just upgraded to Windows 10 so that may be causing the issue? I have downloaded this game 3 times with the same result..

This is what the error message is on my Content_log

[15-08-03 02:16:35] AppID 241930 update canceled : Failed to move staging folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading/241930 (Disk write failure)

Hopefully someone has an answer.

i have bypassed this now by installing to another folder. not sure how to fix the rest but

I'm having this issue too, just upgraded to windows 10 and now my game wont install. How would i install to a different folder? I've tried basically everything else i can think of, besides reinstalling steam, might a well give this a shot.

WAIT! I just fixed it. Right click on steam an click "Open File Location". then find and open the "steamapps" folder, and select the "common" folder. you will see a list of folders for all the games you have downloaded, and one different type of file for the game you are downloading (for me it was just a white page). simply right click on that other file and click delete, then hit resume download on the steam menu, and it should finish with no problems.

You are a god. I was about to ask for a refund. Ended up downloading GTA V twice because I thought the download failed at the end the first time. Took 12+ hours both times.
