Failed download 0 Byte PDF

jacksonppp

A PDF i wanted to download somehow failed downloading (was interrupted...?!).

When i open the Files app the file shows up in the initial Download folder window. When I select it and click delete it doesnt delete.

When i navigate to the system base folder and open the download folder there the 0 B PDF doesnt show up...

Any suggestions what could be the issue andor how to solve/delete this 0B PDF?

Thank you for any pointers...

jacksonppp did you try clearing browser cache and restarting phone?

GrapheneOS

jacksonppp It's a bug in the app you used and will go away after it times out in 1 week. The app should avoid doing this and should provide a way to deal with it, but some have this issue. If you cleared the app's data or uninstalled it, it would go away, but you should just wait for it to expire.

Sometimes 0kb files are deleted by system after few hours / days

This is not a rare issue in any case and always gets selfresolved after a while, no reason for panic. Solved.
