Is it OK to delete a .nupkg file?

I'm ne开发者_运维知识库w to NuGet -- just started using it and got myself a copy of WatiN.

I'm trying to trim down the size of the folder that was pulled back before I put it into version control. I noticed that WatiN.2.0.50.nupkg is about 12mb. I noticed from this link that the .nupkg is essentially a compressed version of the package contents. Is it OK to delete it, or might doing so cause any issues in the future?

If you delete it we can't update/uninstall since we use that file as a record of what is currently installed. We're looking at a feature that would allow people to restore the packages from packages.config so you could avoid putting packages in source control altogether.
