Will deleting files off my computer affect digital download listing?

Hi everyone! I know this is an odd question and I probably overthinking it, but if I were to delete the folders I have for digital downloads on my listings, would it affect the listing at all?
I just wouldn't want to delete the files off my computer and then it somehow messes with the actual listing! Thank you for any help, again I'm sure I'm overthinking it but I just want to make sure!

Your listings are not connected in any way to anything on your computer.

@maynicolle: If you have uploaded the digital file to Etsy then it is being stored by Etsy on their servers.  But before you delete anything consider if there will be any ramifications if Etsy corrupts or loses the file.

No, it will not affect your listings.  However, you would want to save onto an external drive of some kind, should something happen as @BagmakerSupply described.  Also, there may come a time when you want to do editing, upload to another site, etc.  Having the files saved would keep you from having to start from scratch.
