Extra Disk Images after OS X reinstall

Hello all,


I just installed a new SSD and reinstalled Catalina from Time Machine. I still have an 'Update' disk image which seems to be from a cancelled update installation as well as 'Macintosh HD' and 'Macintosh HD - Data'. Which of these is necessary and which can be safely deleted?


Thanks very much for your time.


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Update would have come from a Big Sur install. It can be removed.

Macintosh HD is the OS.

Macintosh HD - Data is your data.
