    Default Duplicate Files

    Have downloaded trial version of Treesize Professional and has come up with a lot of duplicate files. Can the duplicate files be deleted without causing harm to my pc?
    A 1991 Gallup survey indicated that 49 percent of Americans didn't know that white bread is made from wheat.

    Yep, they're safe to delete. They're duplicates after all, just there taking valuable space up.

    Time to deploy the nukes.

    It all depends on what duplicate files it's found. There are many duplicate files on your PC that are there for a reason.

    Deleting files without actually knowing what it is you're deleting is pretty dangerous stuff on a Windows PC. If you can let us know what it's found then we can tell you whether to delete it. If in doubt, delete nothing.
