MacBook Pro 15", Monterey v.12.6 - I was searching for .dmg files to delete

I was hunting all the .dmg files to delete, and I show 20 "BaseSystem.dmg.x86.trustcache.jxxx...(more numbers).im4m" files in Aug, and 1 more in the last 30 days. None before August, and none since except for a document "about" theses very files. It says not to mess with them. Nothing to worry about?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

Nothing to worry about. Those are legitimate system files and not the .dmg files you seek to delete. If you want to seek out .dmg files for possible deletion just make sure those are the file types you seek — not just a part of their names.
