is there a special process to delete stuff that was downloaded?  Or do you have to just go to the download location and manually delete the InstallPackages directory?

Personally, I always use and keep the install packages ...



1) I keep all the install packages for each version GA, MR's, EBF's, etc on backup drives

2) If the IDE messes up, I can quickly restore the IDE from the GA package + last MR

(saves another long download - especially for "Universal" edition, which includes PowerServer))

3) If working on a PB team, the install packages on a server can set-up a new PB developer much faster

4) For a PB Team - same for #2

5) The install packages can contain some good "read me" info.

6) The AppeonInstaller can be blocked in your organization from running. Sometimes you need IT to unblock it temporarily (which can be an internal IT P.I.A.). Using & saving the packages alleviates this if you need to re-install again. Same for #3.



Just my $0.02

I believe installer has checkbox to auto-delete downloaded packages once the installer has unpacked and collected its "installer image". Maybe only if you choose to download local installer which I always do.

Good point Michael. I misunderstood the original post and thought he was using the downloader to create an offline installation package.
