[Solved] Deleting .dmg files

Post by mrbdent »

I am running AOO 4.1.3 on iMac High Sierra 10.13.3. Trying to clean up outdated files to better organize my hdd and found several instances of AOO on my box. 4.0.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2,4.1.3.dmg, 4.1.3-2.dmg, 4.1.3-3.dmg...etc.
My question is, can I delete all of the .dmg files except for the most recent and still operate correctly, or do these files build on each other? Each one is 174MB+/-...with 9 of them there it would free up space. I love AOO and just want to make sure I am still able to use it and do not do anything wrong when deleting these disk image files? Thank you so much! Bob

You don't need any DMG files except during the installation process. See [Tutorial] Mac FAQ Q03/A03.

No. They are independent. Each contains the complete version.

If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit button and add [Solved] to the start of the title. You can select the green checkmark icon at the same time.
