[QUOTE="Mikeo1938, post: 1516061, member: 135375"] With my MPB (10.6.8) I put bank statements and so on into a password-protected Disk Image file but have recently noticed that some of these items remain visible in the Downloads Folder. I’ve since dragged them into the Disk Image or trashed them securely. I don’t normally look into the Downloads Folder and have seen a lot of stuff that I’d forgotten all about: DMG files for software updates and, surprisingly, some song sheets from Wikifonia that I’d already saved in my music folders. Can the DMG files be safely deleted? I’ve now altered Safari Prefs so that downloads are automatically directed to the desktop. Comments regarding the Downloads Folder greatly appreciated. M [/QUOTE]
