Resolved Mac pro devices

[kylebattle]

Im new to macs and today i noticed when i installed google chrome and updating java after you open the install file it places another file under "devices" why is this? and should i delete that file or just eject it and thats it? I've googled for hours and cannot find any info. I would just like to know if thats normal and for what reason it does this. i just don't want to have a bunch of install files floating around taking up memory.

That is not how you install applications, just look at the following guide on how to do it properly:
Installing Applications in Mac OS X

And here is the guide for the other way around:
Uninstalling Applications in Mac OS X

which also includes:

Best way to FULLY DELETE a program​

And this is a good guide about Mac OS X:
