Should quarantined files be deleted - or left quarantined?

Best answer by nic

If you know that they are bad files then you can go ahead and delete them.  Although it doesn't harm anything to leave them in quarantine.  The reason we have the quarantine is so that you can restore a file that might have gotten flagged as a false positive.
