Important:

Backup First:

Create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the installation.

Then, proceed with he update:

A. Create a New User:

For temporary use, try creating a new administrator user. See if you can install it with that user. Once installed, delete the user you just created.

B. Try Safe Mode:

[Hold Down: shift upon boot]. See if you can then install the update.

"if I delete all the stuff in the down load file it will still be in my computer right? Thanks again"

No. It would not still be in your computer, as it would be deleted. So, that is why to create a backup, as I mentioned above.

If you have installed the download, it should stay on your computer.
