I thought -U also removed old files, but maybe not all?

-C is definitely not true, it doesn't remove binaries.

Wait, does -F really only work if something's already installed?

I feel like the -F option only works if there’s an existing version installed, but I can't recall the exact details.

I remember practicing a question about the -F option, and I think it verifies existing packages rather than installing new ones.

I think the -U option is for upgrading packages, but I'm not sure if it installs regardless of previous versions.

I’m pretty sure the -U option updates the package database, but I’m confused about whether it removes old binaries or not.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The different Cortex XDR licenses can be confusing, and I want to make sure I understand the differences before selecting an answer.
