Accidentally installed Sonoma on wrong partition

Stupid mistake, but accidentally installed Sonoma on wrong partion and now I have Ventura on one partition and Sonoma on the other. And now I don't know what to do.


Any way I can uninstall Sonoma from Macintosh HD?


(P.s. I did a back up on Time Machine before installing Sonoma)








MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.6

It doesn’t look like you partitioned at all. You just added another APFS volume and installed there.To remove Sonoma, select the Sonoma volume and click the Remove Volume button. When it asks, remove the Volume Group.


Why was it the wrong volume? Did you want to upgrade Ventura?
