Delete downloaded files of an update to BigSur

Hey community,

I've downloaded 12GBs of a new BigSur update. When trying to install it, I've found out, that it requires 30 GBs of free space, which I do not have. Installation is therefore impossible, but I still have update downloaded. Is there any option to delete these files?

Thank you :))

The file should be in your Applications folder and should be able to be dragged to the Trash bin in the Dock and deleted that way. It will be named "Install macOS Big Sur.app".
