Hot take: Before you go clearing caches, make sure the issue isn't with your internet connection. Sometimes it's not Steam, it's your own Wi-Fi playing tricks on you.

Clearing the Steam download cache is super easy! Just open your Steam client, then go to Settings > Downloads, and you'll see a button at the bottom that says 'CLEAR DOWNLOAD CACHE.' Click it, restart Steam, and voil脿, you've freed up some digital space and potentially solved weird download issues.
