Thanks.  I see what you mean.  I’ll delete the sub-folders covering other environments.

So what did you download and install?

If you downloaded a binary distribution for a particular platform, I'm not sure there should *be* sub-folders covering 
other environments, unless 1) the download itself includes an option to install source code (the macOS binary 
distribution does) and 2) you selected that option.  As Roland noted, there is no need to select that option unless you 
think you're going to need to look at the source to Qt or modify it.

The source code isn't *that* big, unless 5.9.3 got a lot bigger than 5.5, or all the big stuff is in components for 
which I didn't install the source; the 5.5 source is about 750MB on my machine.
