Big Sur failed to install. How to delete download and start over

My MacBook Pro is 2016. Failed to install Big Sur message, but I think it did not fully download. Also, I did not notice the Catalina supplemental update before downloading Big Sur. DL supp update, then tried to finish Big Sur, but got the failed to install message. Perhaps the BS download got corrupted. How can I delete the BS download and start over?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

You should find the download in the application folder. Just delete it
