A drive call "Update" - Macbook Pro

I updated to Big Sur. It wrecked some of my company-installed software. I "recovered" to Catalina 10.15.7 and copied files from a Time Machine backup. Now I have two icons on my desktop: DavidsMBP (the "real" hard drive) and Update (image 1). Yes, if I open Disk Utility, I see two partitions on DavidMBP (DavidsMBP and DavidsMBP - Data) in Container Disk 1, but I also see another called "Update" (image 2). I included a picture of the contents of this drive (image 3). Don't know what it is or how to get rid of it. I'm sure it's pilot error, but I still need help!


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

You can use the +/- to ad or delete Volumes in the Container if that is your issue— there is barely nothing/anything on that Volume you have highlighted...



Add, delete, or erase APFS volumes in Disk Utility on Mac ...
