Checklist
Flatpak version

What Linux distribution are you using?
Linux Mint
Linux distribution version
Mint 20.3 (Ubuntu 20.04)
What architecture are you using?
x86_64
How to reproduce
mintinstall
) to install a flatpak with dependencies that aren't already presentExpected Behavior
It should at least be possible to recover all the disk space used from the failed download and properly clean up.
Actual Behavior
sudo flatpak repair
seems to have negligible if any effect. Downloaded files remain in the/repo/tmp

could work, if I knew which packages actually downloaded) or purge them:Additional Information
