Hello,

I have been a Mac user for quite a while and still download mutiples of the 
same items. I just go to my downloads folder and delet the item that I don't 
want to keep. This is no different than what you did with Windows.  I am 
somewhat confused. If you downloaded Pages from the App store on your new Mac, 
Pages will be in your application folder.
