"Install macOS Monterey" icon on launchpad

Hi,


I recently updated my M1 Macbook air to Monterey.

After the update i have a logo on my launchpad saying "Install macOS Monterey".

I have attached the screenshot below.


What do i do about this? If i delete it, will it cause any problems?


Need some advice, Thanks in advance!

This is just a ghost installer, a leftover artifact from the install process.


If you click on it, I suspect it will show the ? mark...


You can simply drag it from the LaunchPad directly to the trash can on your Dock to remove it.
