Help! Invisible app taking my internal storage!

I attempted to download this pretty large game, about 620 MB. I had freed up more than enough space for the app. I downloaded it but when the download finished it said error and it did not install the game. However, the storage space the app would've used up is still gone. Now I cant attempt to re-install it or anything else because most of my internal storage is gone without an app to go with it. I cannot find my used space anywhere. How can I fix this?

Welcome to Android Central! Use a file manager app like ES File Explorer, and look around the various directories for large .obb files that may be related to the game, and delete them. It might be in one of the /Android/data/ subdirectories. Look for folder names that are related to the game title or the software company.

Did you try downloading hearthstone, cause thats what I did. I didn't think it would require a second installation and it just bombed my storage space.
