If you only want to delete the installer, you can select it from the Trash, then right-click the icon to reveal the Delete Immediately… option for just that file. Alternatively, your Mac can delete the macOS installer on its own if it determines that your hard drive doesn’t have enough free space.
Can I delete old versions of Mac OS?
Navigate to the version of the file that you’d like to remove first. Once you’re there, move your cursor to the top of the screen, and voilà—your formerly hidden menu bar should reappear! Then choose File > Revert To > Delete This Version.
Should I delete old macOS?
No, they aren’t. If it’s a regular update, I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s been a while since I remember there was an OS X “archive and install” option, and in any case you would need to select it. Once it’s done it should free up the space of any old components.
