You can't change the location that iTunes stores the .ipsw file, but you could move the file to an external drive and point iTunes to the file, should you need to restore.
There should only be one .ipsw file. You can delete it if you want, but bear in mind that should you need to restore your phone, iTunes will need to re-download it & you will have to have enough space on your hard drive to do so in order to restore your phone.

on a side note, i installed itunes and everything to my D drive so i wouldn't run into any problems like this. i understand drivers need to be on my C but why would something so large be on a drive not specified for it?
can i delete the current .ipsw file
