I have recently noticed that my 8-year-old MacBook is slow when loading webpages, and I started going through my files to get rid of old stuff. After a while, I came across a file called "discord.dmg". I think this was the file used to install Discord on my computer, but now I am wondering if I can delete the .dmg without getting rid of the application.
A disk image file (.dmg) is simply an easy, portable structure to transfer an app to you without falling afoul of any internet 'oddities' such as compression, splitting etc. So long as the .dmg arrives intact [& it is self-checking in this regard] then you can be sure it arrived "as sent" & can copy it to your Applications folder. Once you have done that, the .dmg itself is no longer required & can just be deleted.
Can You Delete Origin Dmg

I would say that you can but you may find keeping some or all may save you a lot of aggro one day. Last year I had a problem with my - under guarantee- iMac. It had to be reset to zero with a complete reinstall. Then my old MacBook Air had a major problem and I replaced it with a new MBA. In both cases I lost all my applications. I was using an old version of Filemaker Pro. And FM now no longer allow downloads of the .dmg. Only backups. I was very glad that I kept the original .dmg (400mb). I had kept the dmgs of my important applications and reinstalling them was made much easier. Perhaps you have a dozen of dmgs. So store them on a USB KEY. or even a sd camera type card. 16gb or 32gb is plenty large enough. You will thank me one day.
When you delete a set, the data recorded on the disks is not deleted. For example, deleting a mirrored RAID set leaves each disk in the set with a copy of all the RAID data. When you delete a concatenated set, all the data is copied to the first disk of the set (as long as the first disk has enough disk space to store the data), resulting in a single volume with all the data.
Well, the short version of the question is in the title, but I'll explain further. My iMac, my families main computer, is running out of disc space, and after googling/looking for topics on the issue, I still can't find a clean cut answer to the question "If I delete .dmg files for programs I have already install/use, will the programs become unusable/broken and will my iMac still function properly?". I ask this because, as I said, I'm running out of space and there isn't much else to delete, and I noticed the .dmg files have been taking up a ton of data. I obviously won't just delete all of them willy-nilly, but I mean can I delete ones for updates to Safari or Firefox or iTunes, or even ones for one-time downloads like MSN? Thanks in advance, I just want to be sure on the issue, so far it seems like I safely can if I have installed the application to the applications folder.
I have several old dmg files on my iMac that are just taking up space on my disk. For example, I've got old Adobe Flash Player dmg files. Can I delete them? Should I keep only the most recent dmg download?
You can also choose to use AppCleaner more like a traditional uninstaller program similar to that found in Windows. This will provide a list of all installed Mac apps and let individual or groups of apps be deleted through AppCleaner:

If you have installed origin on your Mac, you cannot remove it that easily for some reason. And if you remove the origin on your device without completely uninstalling its related files, it may cause you problems. If you will notice some other applications files are usually installed and run out of the space of your system, and that file is added to the list from the programs and features on your device.
Uninstalling Origin will delete your games. The installed games will still be playable on your device but you need to reinstall again the Origin on your system. If you install origin and games in one partition or in one folder, you need to reinstall the origin and the games. Or you can use an external drive if you have the origin application on disc C and the game is installed in the disc D you can only install Origin.
