    Help downloaded OTA file location?

    My 16GB Nexus 5 has downloaded OTA updates, but my choice is to manually flash the Android factory images. Where are the downloaded OTA updates kept in the filesystem please? I need to delete them in order to free up some space. I could search for them if I knew their naming conventions. Thanks.
