I am running macOS Mojave. I've downloaded Catalina, but I regret to install it. The download was completed. Where can I find the downloaded file(s) to free up the disk space?

  • I haves checked in Applications folder.

  • I checked with find, couldn't find the files.

    Regular release OS full installers are in Applications, named "Install [macOS name]", so I'd check there first, but I don't really know if that applies to betas.

  • It's not there, checked before asking this question. Thanks though.

  • Did you allow the download to complete? They tend to be buried way down inside private/var before they're complete.

    idk how find works, so I don't know. I do know indexed search, ie Spotlight, will never find it.

    I’m voting to close this against the great questions we have on finding any file. The system cleans up temporary downloads after a restart or the system just needs to purge snapshots from files recently deleted. apple.stackexchange.com/questions/341898/… This is likely not just an installer, but an edit to the question might clear up if this isn’t a duplicate. apple.stackexchange.com/questions/337450/…
