When you have a file that you no longer need, instead of leaving the file to clutter your hard drive, you can delete it.
Make sure that you
delete only those documents that you have created yourself or that
someone else has given to you. Do not delete any of the Windows 7
system files or any files associated with your programs, or your
computer may behave erratically or crash.
If you happen to delete a file accidentally, you can usually recover it.
