So I got something on my downloaded files , it has a really long name and it says it's a ISO Disk Image. The size of it is 5,97 GB , I wanna delete it but I don't know if it's something important related to my MacBook.
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 14.5
Hi kewykew,
Can you post the entire name of the iso file, please? In you image the name is cut off at REFRESH…
My hope that seeing the full name will offer a quick clue as to what the iso file is before further investigation.
As to what is an ISO, HiyaThereLovely has pretty much answered that question. ISO files are typically used for distributing software, operating system images, or backups.
It's not important and you can delete it.
One source says:
”Disk Images (or ISO files) are computer files that store the contents and structure of a disk volume, e.g. a DVD. Installers of older Native Instruments products were provided as Disk Images which must be mounted on your computer in order to begin the installation process.”
That’s what I could find.
Given the filename I would assume this is a windows installation image, specifically version 23H2 build 22631. Did you by any chance download windows for bootcamp or any other device using your mac?
What's ISO Disk Image?
