Hello!

I had each beta of El Capitan installed on my 2012 MB Air. I didn't get around to installing the GM build.

Anyway, I installed the final version of the OS from the App Store, installed without issue. But, now I have the GM (final beta) build of El Capitan downloaded and waiting to be installed and I can't figure out how to delete it.

It's stuck in my launchpad and no option to hide or delete.

How do I get rid of it?!

Hold option while in Launchpad and you'll see an x appear at the corner of each app in there. Click the X to delete. Also look in your applications folder to see if you see the installer partially downloaded, and if it's there, just put it in the trash and empty it.
