How can i go back from Big Sur Beta to regular Big Sur? When my Macbook Pro (Mid-2015, 15 inch) was still on Catalina, i enrolled in the public-beta-programm and installed the Big Sur Beta. I recently opted out of the beta-programm via System Preferences -> Software Update -> Details. Unfortunately that didn't change anything, my mac still runs the Beta software (version 11.1) and still gets Beta updates (at the moment it tells me to update to 11.1 Beta 2). How can i downgrade it to the official-release (i think it's 11.0.1)? Thanks in advance for any help!
