I have been checking out Klean Sweep and when I ran it it found like 10,000 files to delete now I maybe new to linux and a little paranoid but I know better then that. I used it once before and when I deleted those files you guessed it mint 8 would not even start the next time i started up my computer so does any one know the proper settings to just delete the files that I really do not need without needing to reinstall mint 8 again? and to those who have helped me with honest basic answers THANK YOU.
I have fixed most of the problems and of course it was mainly because I was deleting stuff that mint 8 needed.

Don't use tools like that unless you are extremely short on disk space
Some redundant files won't harm you, in Windows they may but basically not in Linux
