I'm using a trial version of "DupExplorer" & have found many files that reside in both "C:\I386" and "C:\SYSTEM32". Is it safe to delete any of these duplicate files? If so, from which of these 2 folders do I delete the extra copy? I apologize if this is a stupid question & thank you in advance for your help!

C:i386 is used to replace files which are deleted in error from system32
Both sets of files should be left in place
Generally, you should be careful when using duplicate file finders, as they tend to list both sets in the remove list
