I searched but couldn't find it, here or via Google. Where are iOS software updates saved in Big Sur?

Are the same location as iPhone backups? ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup

Or are they somewhere else?

I downloaded the 14.5 iOS install for my iPhone on my Big Sur iMac, but then ended up installing OTA on the iPhone instead. I don't see any file on the iMac that I can delete. All the tutorials I see online are for previous versions of macOS, and thus talk about iTunes directories, etc. I don't see it under Storage Management either.
