Hi, Before I do anything stupid, I want to make sure this won't cause unforeseen trouble: I've downloaded and installed a few things from the web, like iStat Pro, Free Solitaire and Coconut Identity Card. They're nice apps and I want to keep them. In the Downloads folder of Finder, I have .zip files for each of these apps. Can I trash the .zip folders? Will I still have the apps and their functionality if I do? Am I just being over-anal in wanting to clear up my Downloads folder? Thanks for your help! Morod
It's fine to delete .zip files, yes. Once you've extracted something from the .zip archive, it's there on your hard drive for good. Deleting the .zip won't make anything disappear.
