Deleting 'install update file' icons from desktop

[Annie]

Forgive me for being so naive but....

I recently updated 2 programs via internet and saved the files to my desktop
(per install instructions). Now that the updates were installed and programs
properly updated, can I delete the icons eventho they say they are .exe
applications (in properties) ?

Thanks.

Thanks so much. I'll just move them then...just in case.

I appreciate your quick reply.
