It would be advisable to NOT delete anything you find in there.

I recommend to use Clone Remover to delete duplicate files out of the file repository. If you're not sure if it it's worth to do it you can take support@moleskinsoft.com.

Here is a free tool - find duplicate files

Audio
Dedupe - Duplicate MP3 Finder can find duplicate mp3 even without id3
tags.

Find Duplicate Photos - Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder
Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder will find all similar and duplicate
images in a folder and its sub folders.
It uses advanced algorithms in order to find similar images in a way that a
human does.
Due to that fact it can find similar images even if they are in different
image formats and sizes.

These are all tools that I use and were featured on PCMag. Give them a try.

This is a better program: Directory Report http://www.file-utilities.com
BTW - Don't delete anything from the Windows directory
