Hi Michaeldw

 

Welcome to the forum. The cloned file scanner tells you when you have duplicate files on your system. You have to decide if youwant to delete them or not. It is entirely your decision.

Is not dangerous for the system or personal data If I delete all dublicate files ?

It is very dangerous for any system to just delete everything unless you are sure that they can be deleted safely. Some files may be required in more than one place on your system, and if you delete these then system instability and or malfunction can result. DLL files are but one example and great care should be taken before deleting these.

Cloned File scanner tells you the files which are duplicated. That does not mean they should be deleted. That is up to the user.

Harm will most likely be done if you delete the cloned files blindly.

If Safe Mode is activated to scan Cloned Files, is also dangerous to clean all cloned files?

Unless you check the files and are sure it is safe to delete them....then it is dangerous.
