Just use FBI or GM9, go in the "Nintendo 3DS" folder, go in the ID0 and ID1 folders inside (the ones with the random character strings as names), then go to titles and delete the folder with the game ID that matches the game. You cancelled the installation without letting FBI delete the data it had unpacked so it's taking up space without being fully installed, deleting the game folder or just reinstalling will fix the issue. Reinstalling after failed install just overwrites the files, so will eventually take up the proper amount of space the game needs, even if it asks for more room at the very start, so don't worry.

@DragoonFX, crashing FBI during mid-install could indicate your SD card is fake or faulty.
  1. Copy everything off your SD card onto a computer.
  2. Reformat it in FAT32 + 32 KB cluster size with Windows File Explorer or guiformat.
  3. Full Write + Verify the empty card with H2testw. Do not skip.
If the result comes back with an error, you'll need to replace the card.

I'd say it's much more likely that it was just a bad dump since he only said it happened with this one installation rather than often in general. No reason to always suspect faulty SD card like you do first thing every time, even if half the time it's viable advice:rofl2:

The SD card is always guilty of an hardware issue until proven otherwise. If one cannot 100% verify this is the case, nothing else that follows afterward matters when it comes to debugging.

And how would I know this fact until you mentioned it?

How long ago did you buy that card, or how long have you been using it? You do know that SD cards can and do go bad over time, right?

The game installed fine but I didn't got my space back. Now I am out of options...
I would definitely advise you to continue with copying everything off and checking that *(reformatted & emptied out) card in H2testw before trusting its usage again.

***

The Title ID for Monster Hunter XX: Double Cross (モンスターハンターダブルクロス) is 0004000000197100.
To reclaim free space, you can manually delete the game at:
  • sdmc:/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/title/00040000/00197100
***

To test if your copy of the game is intact,
  • GodMode9 → 0:/.../Monster Hunter XX.ciaCIA Options...Verify file.
