Unenroll from Beta Program (Software Update annoyance)

Hello.

I participated and greatly enjoyed the macOS 10.12 Sierra public beta program but now that the commercial release has become available I’d rather switch back to the mainline.

This morning a Public Beta release of 10.12.1 showed up in Software Update.

So I went into Settings > App Store and disabled Beta software, and refreshed: the proposed update is still there.

So I went into /private/var/folders/zzz and nuked the contents of that, and refreshed: the proposed update is still there.

So I rebooted, and refreshed the App Store updates again: and of course, the proposed update is still there.

How do I get rid of that but ensure that I will be alerted when the definitive release of 10.12.1 is released?

Or am I going to have to live with it and be wary of never clicking “Update All” ever again?

Thanks.

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016), macOS Sierra (10.12)

Open the App Store > Purchased. Find the Sierra Beta purchase then right/control-click in the white space of its row and choose hide purchase.

I went back to the beta.apple.com website and re-downloaded the enroll application again. This installed the feedback software and displayed the change option. I have now opted out.
