You have to specify a location for it to be saved, and then when you run the exe (most likely by clicking 'run' after you clicked the download link on the website) it will extract the relevant files into the folder you saved it to, and will then automatically run the installer.
Once its run the installer, its perfectly safe to delete the drivers as you have done.
HTH.

I would suggest you create yourself a directory - one that doesn't start with a prefix of My and put your documents etc in there...

The drivers are not installed into that folder, its just the location that the program saves to that in turn puts them into the right place in your Operating System file structure.
The only time the files you see are used is to install the drivers - after that they are doing nothing at all.
Your choice whether to archive them and keep them in case you want to use them in future, could be helpful to bring a machine back into operation without net access, whether this is relevant or useful or not is up to you. (But even if you used them in this way, you'd still want to check they were the latest versions at some stage anyhow)
Personal prefs, personally I use Shift+Delete for filing stuff like that...

(unless the download process overrides that)
Dell updates, if installed from a downloaded executable file will normally decide where to put themselves for the extract/install process, typically in a subfolder of C:\Dell
The primary downloaded file is then superfluous and can be deleted.
