Is it OK to uninstall the Xamarin Installer software on Mac

When we install Xamarin Studio, the installer file obviously gets installed too and it comes in around more than 3GB in size.

SO would it be OK to uninstall this or would this be essential for the future, e.g. maybe it is needed for future software updates?

All the files under ~/Library/Caches/XamarinInstaller can be deleted and won't affect your development environment. These are kept in case you want to re-install the various components.

Update: This now also applies to all files under ~/Library/Caches/VisualStudio/8.0/TempDownload
