Title:
  Nautilus can leave half-copied files on the target on error or cancel

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in Nautilus:
  Confirmed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If a file move/copy is stopped half way through (eg due to pressing
  cancel or volume full error), Nautilus advises there was an error but
  does not try to delete the half-copied file, leaving the impression to
  a user on the target file system that the file was successfully
  copied.

  When you do the copy again and press "Skip all existing" this will
  lead to data loss.
