Input FASTA file required after local BLAST database is built?

I've downloaded a very large fasta file and have built a local BLAST database. I'm trying to maintain storage space and was wondering if the input fasta file can be deleted after the local BLAST database has been built?

Solution

I removed the fasta file and the blast still ran fine. I was initially worried about deleting it as the fasta files are big. But I was able to find a small blast database to test it on. Thanks Llopis!
