Redundant DLL Files:
This screen lists all the duplicate DLL files on your computer that satisfy the redundancy criteria defined in Options, together with details on their status and recommendations about deleting them.
Choosing which DLLs to delete:
First of all, NEVER delete DLLs displayed in red in the Details screen! Deleting these files will almost certainly cause application problems or serious system malfunctions.
Read the recommendations displayed under Details of Selected DLL File carefully. If duplicate DLLs are not stored in the Windows® system folders and are identical to or older than the versions in the Windows® folders it is generally safe to delete them.
Note: | In Windows® 2000 and XP, DLL Cleaner may tell you that DLLs stored in a folder called WINNT\SYSTEM can be safely deleted because they are "not in the system folder". See the Multiple System Folders? topic in the Reference section for a discussion of this issue.

Deleting the selected DLLs:
After selecting the DLLs you want to delete click on OK to return to the Results screen and then select Delete to move the selected DLLs to the Recycle Bin.
After deleting DLLs check all your important applications and make sure that everything is working properly before you empty the Recycle Bin to delete the files permanently.
