i know now. you just search for it

and find the icon. check it by get info

and then trash it. brilliant.

and see Niel below. i didn't think

to look for an installer in applications.

thanks Niel.

I did this and removed it from my trash as well but the storage hasn't gone back up. Is there anything I need to do?

I just did the same thing and I experienced the same thing the storage did not go all the way back up. I only gained about 2 gigs, yet the installer was 12 gigs. Did you ever figure out anything?

I have this same problem. The installer took up 12 gigs, and after deleting, I only got 3 back. Does anyone know where the partially installed packages/dmgs/icons are?
