I'm doing my semi-annual look around via Disk Inventory X, and I'm seeing some .pkg
files located at /Library/Updates/061-41421
with names like macOSUpd10.14.6.pkg
and FullBundleUpdate.pkg
weighing in at sizes like 1.7gb. They cannot be casually moved to the Trash
and sudo rm macOSUpd10.14.6.pkg
yields the Operation not permitted
message.
Can anyone tell me what these are for? / Are they necessary to keep around? / If no, how do you remove them? And most importantly, why in the world would Apple keep these on board after the contents have been distributed via an update?
Thanks

Now delete the update .pkgs but the .plist files will contain wrong info, if any, about the download status etc. I am not sure if they have to be deleted or not.
Also, disable automatic download from System Preferences → Software Updates.
