Upon examining a list of the large files on my C Drive, I notice there are
many WINNT DLLs in "C:\WINNT\System32" also duplicated in the
"C:\WINNT\System32\dllcache" directory. They carry the same size and
creation date in each directory.

Can I safely delete the DLLs from one or the other directory to reclaim a
lot of drive space?

No.
