In the download installer where it says delete package once installed - Is this check box recommended and Can you delete these packages after installed ???

    That's up to you - if, like me, you have capped bandwidth or a slow connection you would probably want to keep them (you can always move them to a back-up drive and bring them back to the downloads folder only at need), if you have a fast, uncapped connection and limited disc space you may want to delete them. You can select multiple items via their check-boxes and then delete is on the right-click menu if you leave them and want to delete them later.

    Alright - I'll hang on to them - I didn't know if they still read from them or not - Sounds like they do !

    Having had to set up DS on a new computer recently and not having had to download all my files again for DIM because I kept my zips, I'm glad I hung on to them. I stored them on an external HD.

    I have "Delete package once installed" and i found the packages weren't deleted.  I found the whole [lot] when i bring up my install manger.

    What do you mean? That there are still zips for installed products in the Downloads folder?
