1. Can I delete 'installer packages'? Time to make a hard copy list as well to keep with the CD's! A few days ago I deceided I did not need the product.
2. Review the DMG's contents. Most of the time, you'll use DMG files to install an app. However, some DMG files contain images or text files as well. Anything ending in.app is an installable app. You'll most likely see an 'Applications' icon in the DMG window. This is a shortcut to your Mac's Applications folder.
3. What to do with.exe file AFTER installing the software. I keep backup installers (.exe) files of my updated drivers.Once again, it's easier than hunting them down again. You can always.

Even though TransMac can open and extract files from a dmg image, only certain data files (image, video, text, html, sound, etc.) will be usable on a PC.Windows is not be able to install or run Mac software. Note: The Windows System 8.1 can be installed on an SSD (60 GB) and after you have installed all your programs, must be more than the 30 Gb of free space. I have now 34,2 GB of free space. I've proved all my programs after of deletion and all still keep working. C'mon, let's do it, Corey! The answer is yes. You can delete the.pkg/.dmg/.zip file after installing the app. It will not affect the app as both files are different. These packages are just containers.

Easier solution:
Move the DMG to /tmp/ before opening it. Then forget about it.
Files in /tmp/ get deleted on reboot.
If you decide you want to keep it, move it back to your Downloads directory or wherever you want it.

Great Idea!
So the cmd whould be:
mv '/Users/MyShortUsername/Path/To/MyDownloaded.dmg' '/private/tmp/'
Obviously, you must replace 'MyShortUserName' with your correct username , replace 'Path/To/' with the correct path to your dmg file and finally replace 'MyDownloaded.dmg' with the correct name of your dmg file.
If you don't use the quotes for the source path and the destination path, just remember to escape the spaces in the paths with backslash! (')

You know, you don't have to use /private/tmp. Just /tmp will do. In fact, it's preferred to use /tmp.

I go the other way. I keep ALL dmg files.
Every so often I move them to an 'Installers' folder, thus keeping the downloads folder clear. Less often I check the total size of the Installers folder and back up to CD/DVD and then clear it.

Or you could use a crontab:

With something like the following:

This will move any files in the ~/Downloads/ folder, to a child folder called 'archive' on a daily basis.. then after 30 days, delete it.

Although, run at your own risk.. its job is to actually delete data.

Wait wait, let me get this straight… if I have files I don't want to keep, I can put them in the trash to get rid of them?
God bless Mac OS X Hints.

Good luck USING them after you put them in the trash. This hint was about continuing to use DMGs that are in the trash. You know you aren't going to want to use it, so always throw it in the trash, then continue using it.
Personally, I download to the Desktop so everything I download is extremely obvious to me. I also have it sorted by 'Last Modified' so DMG downloads appear in the upper right. Can't forget those!
