One way to avoid keeping DMG files after installation
Easier solution:
Move the DMG to /tmp/ before opening it. Then forget about it.
Files in /tmp/ get deleted on reboot.
If you decide you want to keep it, move it back to your Downloads directory or wherever you want it.

Great Idea!
So the cmd whould be:
mv '/Users/MyShortUsername/Path/To/MyDownloaded.dmg' '/private/tmp/'
Obviously, you must replace 'MyShortUserName' with your correct username , replace 'Path/To/' with the correct path to your dmg file and finally replace 'MyDownloaded.dmg' with the correct name of your dmg file.
If you don't use the quotes for the source path and the destination path, just remember to escape the spaces in the paths with backslash! (')

You know, you don't have to use /private/tmp. Just /tmp will do. In fact, it's preferred to use /tmp.

I go the other way. I keep ALL dmg files.
Every so often I move them to an 'Installers' folder, thus keeping the downloads folder clear. Less often I check the total size of the Installers folder and back up to CD/DVD and then clear it.

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.
Personally, I download to the Desktop so everything I download is extremely obvious to me. I also have it sorted by 'Last Modified' so DMG downloads appear in the upper right. Can't forget those!

The point of this article is to help you deal with “Access Denied. You need administrator permission to delete this file” and similar errors. This guide includes steps to take ownership and permission of the file or folder so that you can change settings, copy or delete files without problem.
Windows Files You Can Delete
“Folder Access Denied. Vmware fusion for mac. You’ll need to provide administrator permission to delete this file/folder.” error is very common in Windows computer. When you access files, you may also encounter other similar errors such as:
- File (Folder) Access Denied. You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from to make changes to this file.
- Access Denied. You will need to provide administrator permission to change these settings. Click Continue to complete this operation.
- Destination Folder Access Denied. You’ll need to provide administrator permission to copy to this folder.
It seems that this is simply a permission issue, but some users do log in as Administrator and still can’t delete files or change settings. Thus error is kind of annoying and looks like a system.
This permission error appears due to the increased security and privacy features of Windows operating system. Some actions require users provide administrator permission to copy / delete /rename files or change settings. Such permission prevents unauthorized users such as guest users, and external sources like scripts from accessing system data. When virus attacks computer, it attempts to again administrator access to operating system so that it takes advantage of system vulnerabilities.
File permission is set to restrict unauthenticated objects from taking full control of files, helping Windows detect whether the user or object can gain special file access and write permission. File access permission can be changed by administrators.
Without proper permission, users can’t perform certain operations and gets error messages mentions above. Therefore we can change access permission and take ownership of system files to get rid of this problem.
