A few days ago, I installed Xcode from the Mac App Store. It shows up as installing there, but never finishes installing.

After every reboot of the computer, it starts it again, and never makes any progress past the Installing... stage.

Attached is a screenshot of the App Store and then one of how it looks in Launchpad.

How can I install Xcode? Or just cancel this altogether?

I’m my experience, Xcode can take hours for the install to complete. I kick it off and go to bed.

It's been sitting there for days, hours and nights on end. I tried deleting the app using AppCleaner, signing out of the Mac App Store, and nothing can cancel the install from being perpetually where it's been sitting as pictured above?
