Title says it all. Tried updating to Catalina, internet crashed, so lost the download, and I want to delete the partial download (6 gigs in size) and start again. Apparently it should be in the updates file in Library, but I have no updates file there! Using Mac OS Mojave. Also I know I have partially downloaded the update as I only have 14GB left, when before I had around 20GB.

Tried restarting, doesn't show up.

Thanks in advance!
 
Nope. Not in downloads or applications folder. Just checked again.

Library/updates
 
Did you try searching for it?
(that's intended to be a serious question)
 
The Library folder in your home folder is different from the system-wide Library folder. The system-wide one is /Library/Updates, and the leading / is significant.

You can force the system-wide folder's window to open with this Terminal command:
open /Library

or by typing/pasting this into the Finder's Go > Go to Folder window:
/Library

Furthermore, the download might be hidden, so Show Hidden in Finder to ensure it would be visible.
