Once the applications are installed, they do not require the dmg to run. Feel free to delete them as long as you don't need to install the program again. If you got it from the internet, you might. Once you have installed it you do not need the.dmg file. #3 The update is already installed so you can delete the dmg. And just for clarification, think of the.dmg as a discardable disk. You have to load it up (you see the drive on the desktop) and you can access the files on it.

It was some random installer for WebEx software that I think auto installed when I participated in a webex conference. So, I tried to trick it.

Great Idea!
So the cmd whould be:
mv '/Users/MyShortUsername/Path/To/MyDownloaded.dmg' '/private/tmp/'

I go the other way. I keep ALL dmg files.

Good luck USING them after you put them in the trash. This hint was about continuing to use DMGs that are in the trash. You know you aren't going to want to use it, so always throw it in the trash, then continue using it.
