Recently, my Pixel tablet had an issue with the Maps app constantly downloading. When I checked the notification, the card said, “Canceling.” It was stuck.

\nAs a solution, I cleared the app’s cache. The cache is a collection of information otherwise found on the Internet. So if that app were stuck downloading, clearing the cache might fix the issue.<\/p>\n
It didn’t.<\/p>\n
The next step, more drastic, is to clear the app’s data. The data includes information not backed up to the cloud — local stuff. For the Map’s app, the data includes offline maps, as an example. This information is nothing that can’t be replaced, so I cleared the app’s data.<\/p>\n
Problem solved.<\/p>\n
Clearing the data when an app is having issues isn’t a bad thing. After all, if the data is corrupted, then it’s useless to you anyway: Delete it.<\/p>\n
Here is a link to a video explaining how to clear the cache or clear the data of an app that’s run amok.<\/p>\n
