Hi all.
How do I remove a downloaded voice? This article doesn't seem right.
https://support.apple.com/bn-in/guide/mac-help/mchlp2290/mac
First, I don't have a mouse or track pad to swipe with. Second, going into system/accessibility/read and speak, I can change the system voice obviously, but i don't see any way to remove it, I only get access to that voice, and I don't want to remove that one anyway. I added other voices to my rotor I've since removed, and I want to get rid of them to save the space. I assume there's a way to do it.
TIA for any help.

Actions Menu
You should be able to remove a voice by selecting it in the list of downloadable voices, then open the VoiceOver actions menu with VO-Command-Space or whatever command you've assigned. If you're not sure how to do something in macOS, try the Actions menu. Apple does a poor job documenting or even informing users about it, but it can be very useful in all kinds of places, such as interacting with notifications in Notification Center.
Cool, thanks!
I do use it occasionally, but I also tend to forget about it. I'll give it ashot, thanks!
Another method
When you are at the list of voices, VoiceOver will announce something similar to "Siri Voice 1, Using 62MB). This is in case it is download. Without interacting with the two options of using the voice and to listen to a sample, press up and down arrow or VO+Space. This will automatically delete the voice without going through the actions menu.
