You are very correct, as usual 👍

There is no tongue in check there, either

Happy belated Halloween 👻

I've been reading and trying the stuff here and none of it is working to help me get rid of this Tahoe installer. Argh! My MacBook Air is too old, it won't boot the Tahoe installer. It still lets me boot the MacOS Sequoia that is running fine. I just want to reclaim the space taken by the Tahoe installer .

I can't find the Installer though. It's not in any of the places everyone is saying it is.

If you can't find it, what accounts for the 7 GB you want to reclaim?

I'll let one of the previous contributors explain things to you.

It shows Sequoia 15.7.1 is available to download and install

Actually it shows 15.7.1 is already installed.

That 7 GB is not downloaded yet. There is nothing to reclaim.

Correct. I think I mentioned that on the first page. :)

In my hast, I stand corrected 😔

I suppose one could sell their Mac and purchase a Mac that doesn't support Tahoe. 🤔

Great! How do I remove it from System Settings? The notification is irritating!

Sounds like "much ado about nothing"...
