A: If you download to the flash drive and don't copy it to the PC, it will not exist on the PC. To retrieve the file to the PC, you'd need to copy it from the flash drive or re-download it.
B: If you use standard file management, you can't access it on the PC, but it's still physically still there so you could use a utility to retrieve it if you do it before Windows over-writes it.
C: Answer is the same as B above.
