It's only dangerous if you delete duplicate files without thinking and don't use a good software for finding duplicates. For example, some duplicate finders compare files by name only and thus delete files that are not actually duplicates. If you want to stay completely safe, get an advanced program like Easy Duplicate Finder (or a similar program with similar features) and select "Compare files by content" in the settings (or "byte-by-byte comparison" depending on the program). That way the duplicate finder will only show you exact duplicates.
