Hello I am trying to upgrade from fedora 41 to 42 when i try using the app store i click the button download and it appears ro start downloading but after about 5-10min the download button appears again I have tried many many times and it just wont complete the download, there is no error given or anything, the same issue happens when trying to update any apps the download seems to start fine after some time i get the system notification the down load is complete and ready to install but in the store the download button appears again and nothing was downloaded or installed, I tried using command line sudo apt update/upgrade but it comes back saying there is nothing to update , I need help on how to fix this please thanks.

It sounds like you may be out of free disk space.
Please post the output of df -h as well as following the suggestion of Barry above.
