Do you have a new folder in the root of your Macintosh HD called "private"?

nope

----------

probably not empty, but not visible...

this happened to me on my first install attempt. i went back to the app store, deleted 'mavericks' from my apps list, then started over....

i found a file and dragged it to AppCleaner...redownloading,we'll see

----------

What's the spec of your Mac?

MBAIR 13" Early 2013

I found the file in other folder(in local language of the system,Russian).Deleted it.We'll see now
 
deleting of the file and even dragging to AppCleaner didn't fix the issue.
what to do?
 
I had the same problem last night when I downloaded Mavericks through the "upgrade" section of the App Store.

After a couple of failed attempts, I went to the "Featured" section and clicked Download on Mavericks under the "Best New Apps" section. Worked perfectly.

Makes me wonder if something is up with the "Upgrade" method/file
