It's like a portable app in windows.
You delete the .appimage, and the file is gone.
.appimage doesn't install anything

Appimage doesn't need root permission
Appimage doesn't really install software
-> It is compressed image with all dependancies/libraries needed

However, other softwares will prompt you to install.
If you allow it, the app will be installed on your linux system

Steps to use .appimage file

Right Click
Go to Properties
Go to Permissions
Go to "Allow execute file as program"
