Is it safe to delete performance session files for visual studio 2012?

Is it safe to delete performance session files for Visual Studio 2012?

I did profiling, and removed the session files only from the project but they were not deleted from the project directory. Now I have huge files, around 8 GB with extensions .psess, .vsp and .vspx, and I am not sure if it is safe to manually delete them.

Yes, if you no longer need your performance reports, you can delete them. You can either delete them from the file system directly or, if you prefer using the Performance Explorer in Visual Studio, you can delete your reports from there as well.

If they are removed from the project, and the program still works normally, you should be safe to delete them. If you want to be safe about it, try moving the files to a temporary folder and see if it messes things up without it. If no problems, continue on with the deletion.
