I searched for any old dmg on my mac, and found the file "FpPlayer.dmg.download". When I highlight it, there is no option to delete it. Anyone know what it is and how to delete it, G00GLE only reveals one link which means nothing to me? Search result:-

EDIT:-
I have got the "Flip Player.app", so maybe it's something to do with that? It is not in the "Flip4Mac" file.

EDIT 2:-
The "FpPlayer.dmg.download" file is not shown as being in a folder.

A .download file is an incomplete download. Therefore, you will not be able to open it because the complete file contents are not there. You will need to download a complete copy first.

However, Flip4Mac has not been supported for years and is completely undesirable on your Mac. Instead, simply install VLC Player from the source (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/).

Thanks IHelpId10t5, I've got VLC already. The odd thing is that usually when I have an incomplete download it is visible in my download folder, but it is not visible there or anywhere, only when I search for it do I see it.

EDIT:-
And when it is in the download folder, I can normally delete an incomplete download.
