How to stop or delete the impending upgrade to OS Catalina?

I haven't upgraded to the new Catalina OS but it is downloaded and I keep getting a prompt when my Macbook Pro can upgrade to it. From what I read, there's a lot of 32-bit programs that aren't working and more compatibility issues with third party apps.


My question is: Is there a way to delete or remove the downloaded OS update? I don't want to restart my laptop and inadvertently upgrade, I'm also getting tired of the prompt to restart. I've disabled the auto-update since then. Is there a place in my computer that has the downloaded OS that I can delete directly from?
