Anyone knows where are the downloaded OTA zips located ? or if they are removed after flashing, which i doubt? I dont wish to waste storage space here

and where possible, hopefully access and delete them without root :/

After the updates zip are removed from the device.
Till then they are stored in your Internal Memory under folder OTA.
This folder is hidden so view it you need to unhide all the folders :)

i appreciate your reply regarding the hidden folder.
However, could anyone else confirm the auto-removal of zips after successful updating?

I have an .Ota folder on my internal storage. It seems to be empty.
I've done only one OTA update so far.

If you think about it, it makes sense that OTA zips should be auto-removed, otherwise they just take up unnecessary space.
One or two years of OTA updates could take up half your storage if they aren't removed automatically.
