Well, you haven't given us much to work with.
What exactly do you want to do?
Generally speaking, running Disk Cleanup is a good place to start your Windows housekeeping.

Hello John,
Was there a specific item in Disk Cleanup that you were wondering what would happen if you deleted it??
Clicking on the
Clean up system files button basically just restarts Disk Cleanup to have it "Run as administrator", and allows you to have the
More Options tab to delete more.

EDIT:
Deleting these items will not hurt your computer. You would just need to decide if you wanted to delete them or not depending on if you wanted to keep them or not.

Windows creates a thumbnail cache of image files to reduce CPU processing time when viewing large numbers of these images.

Check the link that Brink gave you to run Disk Cleanup. It does not harm your computer, it is just a way of regaining hard drive space if you are running low.
However, with today's large drives, running Disk Cleanup becomes less important.
