Moved to a more appropriate forum. This is not a suggestion or feedback.

Do you have a question? We'd love to help but we need to know the issue.

yes

where does everything go when i download documents, i know on the dock it has the "downloads" icon, i was use to windows where you go to the start button and open documents or downloads. besides the "downloads" icon what other way can i search what i have downloaded? so far i have skype and school documents. thanks

In your home directory is a folder called "Downloads." This is the folder that you see as an icon in the Dock.

i have another question, if you delete anything from your "downloads" icon does that delete it from your harddrive? for example since i downloaded skype can i just delete it from downloads or would i have to uninstall it to remove it from my harddrive?

If you're referring to the dmg file (the icon that looks like a hard drive on a blank piece of paper), yes, you can simply delete it. You don't have to uninstall an application to remove its disk image (dmg).

thanks, cause i just bought this laptop the macbook bro 13inch with the i7 processor. im trying to keep it new as possible. i dont want to have unwanted documents on the HD. documents im not going to use i want to delete them;D
