Can I delete the PW files after installation?

The PW file I downloaded from this site is a whopping 2.3 gigs. I thought that this was all, but then during installation I needed to use up another 2.5 gigs for the actual program. Now that the installation is complete and PW runs fine, can I delete or move the file I downloaded into a flash drive? Or do I need it for updates or other mis. stuff.

    As long as you have installed the gameclient properly it should be fine to move or delete the files you downloaded. Just keep the actual client.

    The installer (the files you downloaded) are only needed for installing the game. Unless you want to keep them around to reinstall the game if needed you can safely delete them.
    The actual game files (installed by default to C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International) are necessary for the game to run.

    The installation files, usually saved to (My) Documents\Downloads folder, are not necessary for gameplay. I'd personally recommend burning them to a few CDs, a DVD, or backup hard drive, if possible with your equipment, so you do not need to download the files again ever in the future even if you need to reinstall or lose a hard drive.

    The (by default) C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment folder is where almost all of the game files go. Do not delete that, or you'll need to reinstall or use a backup to get the client back.
