Node runs out of space after failed repeated updates

[Valcyclovir]

Issue description

The node would attempt update 8.0.3+beta.19 but constantly fails, and on each retry the 8.0.3+beta.19 folder size grows, until it occupies 100% of my server.

Expected behavior

Node to update normally with auto-update on

Actual behavior

Node attempts and fails update, but folder size keeps increasing until max server capacity

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Run a v8 testnet node
2. Wait for auto-update
3. Auto-update fails but keeps retrying until max server space capacity
