The cache is stored in a specific location on the user’s computer, and its size can vary depending on the number and size of the apps that have been downloaded or updated.

Changing the install directory can sometimes help to work around certain installation errors. For example, if the error is due to a lack of space on the system drive, changing the install directory to a drive with more space could allow the installation to proceed.

Similarly, if the error is caused by a corrupt file or folder, changing the install directory to a different location could allow the installation to bypass the corrupt file or folder.
