If you're done with it, sure. But I have a feeling you're talking about something that's not quite downloading. Can you be more specific?ddk121 said:

If you mean the mounted .dmg file, which looks like a white picture of a hard drive, then yes, delete it (actually you will not be deleting it, but only unmounting it). To really delete the installer, drag the .dmg file (look in your default download location (yours is probably the desktop) for it) to the trash and delete it. There are a few .dmg files that are good to hang on to. An example would be a program from a very small software developer that might disappear but that you really need. If your application ever got corrupted or accidently deleted, you could reinstall it. This is a vary rare instance however so delete away!
Just drag the icon to the trash. When you start dragging a mounted disk image the trash can icon will change to an eject icon. After it's unmounted, delete to your heart's content.

Sounds like someone is quite young and trying to hide your downloads.
I remember trying to hide my newly installed applications from my Dad when I was young. I don't know why I cared so much but I was 12 and it was system 7.
Good Luck kid!

Is it a folder or a white sort of rectangular icon? If it's a folder, open it up and see what's inside. You'll either have to drag the file to your Applications folder or run an installer.ddk121 said:
You can't--there's something wrong with the file. If you download MSN Messenger from their website, you'll get the latest version without having to apply an update.ddk121 said:
