Downloaded but uninstalled OS?

I downloaded Big Sur, but there's not enough HD space available. So, for now I want to keep Mojave until I have time to remove some apps/files. Should I delete the Big Sur download to free up HD space? If so, how?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

Previous installers downloaded to Applications folder.


A second item put into Launchpad goes away after

the one in Applications is sent to Trash.


Or that's how this worked in older macOS..


Good luck & happy computing!
