I clearly do already.

I've deleted it because 50 gigs for testing IE7 - 9 is a bit too much for my 120 gig SSD drive.
In case you didn't know, it keeps the original download around after install (and maybe other files - it has been a while since I used it). Deleting those will free up quite a bit of room.
This was after I deleted the downloaded files, if I recall correctly.
when it works, it works great. I always get the checksum failure messages, or errors in unrar returning a non 0 status code... eventually after multiple attempts of rm -rf ~/.ievms

and re-running the script will "sometimes" eventually work... it is the best option i know of for sure, but still not as easy as at least never been easy for me here...
