uninstall "install macOS monterrey"

I uninstalled the installer for macOS Monterrey to free up space. And there was no difference on the storage, the installer weight 12 GB and not a single GB was removed just moved from the "apps" section to "others" Is there any solution to eliminate this data from my mac?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Clearing Space on a Mac:

 

Mac Storage:

Try clearing internal storage. Do so, though use of the following:

 

What Space to Clear:

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:

  • Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data.
  • Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.

Go Here: Manage Cookies and Website Data in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

 

Also...



B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.
