Can I delete the "macOSUpd10.13.2.pkg" which appears in the "device" section of Finder? No idea why it landed there. I'm guessing this is just the install package so deleting it won't be a problem?
MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11
We know for certain that when an update is applied, its Upd package will be removed.
For out-of-sequence updates that are no longer appropriate, their fate is less certain. It may need to be deleted manually.

Why not update your computer instead? It will delete itself after installation.
The source is likely a setting in system preferences > software update ...
that says 'download updates in the background'.
Thanks for your reply, Grant! The backstory...I'm working through updates to get a 2017 MacBook up to date. The first update, last night, was to move to High Sierra 10.13.6. Once that was completed, I found the macOSUpd10.13.2.pkg in Finder. Thought it was odd since it's not 10.13.6. I plan to update to Big Sur tonight. I'm a novice at this so I'm concerned about deleting anything unless I know it's not needed before I take the next step. Do I understand correctly that when I upgrade to Big Sur, the macOSUpd10.13.2.pkg I see in Finder under Devices will be removed? Thanks for your input!
Thanks!
