My Ntuser dat file is getting very large. Can this file
be cleaned or removed without causing any damage to the
system ???
Any advice would be appreciated.

Let's define what 'large' is before we panic, shall we. 10MB or more is
a bit excessive (but still probably a small fraction of the overall
registry size). 1GB is definitely corrupt.
 
NTUSER.DAT is the "user" portion of the System Registry. Delete it and all
your per user settings and customizations will be gone.
