 * Hello [@peguzman98](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peguzman98/) 
   I am sorry
   about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.There
   are a few reasons for this, and none of those reasons is specific to the W3 Total
   Cache.Check the files/folder permission if it’s set to 755 – folders 644- files.
   Also, check if your server is out of disk space.Please check this and also try
   uploading the plugin manually using a zip file.Make sure that before you try 
   another install to remove any content of the plugin in wp-content/plugins/
 * Thanks!
