How are you installing them? I believe you can use something like Gear Lever to quickly “install” AppImage files. AppImages are standalone applications, kind of like flatpaks, but using Gear Lever you can integrate them into your distro’s app menu as if it were an installed application.
If you use AppImageLauncher it’ll delete the file after you open it and press “Integrate and run”. They’ll be moved to
~/Applications/It there a setting for AppImageLauncher to not delete the file
Then it would be in two places, both your downloads directory (I assume that’s where you ran it from originally) and the Applications folder where the AppManager has “installed” it.
If you want to backup a copy of it just go to the Applications folder and copy it from there.
How did you even install AppImage?
I think you dont. You just run it
don’t rm them and this should stop happening.
I know how to fix that
