User's post on September 23, I think I didn't make myself clear enough. I will try to explain in different way: When I am offered a windows update I download an executable file.
Users tend to forget about the existence of these disk images after they install the software. IPSW to apply an iOS software update is considered to be a more advanced function and therefore more appropriate for tech-savvy users.
Even so, it can still happen that even advanced users forget about these storage-hungry installer files. Having one or two installer files in the Downloads folder shouldn't cause any issues unless these files occupy gigabytes of space — Adobe Creative Suite installer packages, for example. But when you realize that your Mac is running out of free space , this is a good place to check for the remains of installer files to remove them and save space.
Removing these files is as easy as the installation process : select the file and drag it to the Trash. The download directory receives all kinds of files--documents and media files, executables, software installation packages, etc. Those files remain there unless you move or delete them. Documents, media files, and the like can be used regardless of where you put them. The only thing to be aware of regarding moving or copying them is re-accessing a file from the history e. If you open a file with your software while it is still in the Downloads directory and later move it somewhere else, the Recent Documents will still point to the old location and won't find it there.
Directly executable programs don't get installed, you just run them. You can do that in the download directory or move them somewhere else. To run them, you either go to the directory where they are, issue a command that includes the path to where they are, or create a shortcut of some kind that knows where the executable is located.
If you move or copy an executable to somewhere else, any shortcut will need to be updated to point to where it is. Software installation packages typically unpack the actual software files or download the ones you need, and store those elsewhere, creating system links to the working files. The installation package is then unnecessary. You can delete it, or save it in case you want to reinstall it without having to download it again.
