It shouldn't - at least not unless you've over-ridden the default
location of the downloads directory and placed it under tmp?
The default locations are:
DL_DIR ?= "${TOPDIR}/downloads"
SSTATE_DIR ?= "${TOPDIR}/sstate-cache"
TMPDIR = "${TOPDIR}/tmp"
so removing tmp should not affect either downloads or sstate-cache.
