Steam won't download - thinks I have less free space than I do

When downloading Rainbow Six: Siege on Steam, it gives me the error "Not enough disk space..."
I tried reinstalling again, but when it reaches 90%, it shows me that error message again, even though I have 120GB free space on my disk drive.

PS : when right-clicking on the game library, and then going to Properties/Browse local files, it redirects me to the the Rainbow Six: Siege game directory, which is empty. If I search the location of the downloaded files during the download, I find that all the downloaded files go to Program Files (86x)/Steam/SteamApps/Downloading

I have already tried:

• Verifying Integrity of game files;
• clearing the download cache;
• repairing the directory folder;
• and reinstalling steam.

What could be the cause for this?

You have to delete the Download directory in Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps, then go to settings in Steam, and repair your download directory.
Restart steam and restart the download, so you have to wait until it finishes, and it will work.
